| | 4 | This 4.10 release plan was adopted by the TSC on August 11, 2006. Information below may still change slightly as the release progresses. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | Planned Dates |
| | 7 | ------------- |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Based on our experience with the other 4.x releases, we will plan for 3 betas over a 6 weeks period after the code freeze. This will lead us to a final around the end of September 2006: |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * Feature freeze - August 14, 2006 |
| | 12 | * 4.10.0-beta1 - August 17th |
| | 13 | * 4.10.0-beta2 - August 29th |
| | 14 | * 4.10.0-beta3 - September 6th |
| | 15 | * 4.10.0-rc1 - September 27th (initial plan was Sept 22nd) |
| | 16 | * 4.10.0 (final) - October 4th (initial plan: Sept 29th, done on ...) |

| | 24 | CVS Tags/Branches |
| | 25 | ----------------- |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | * The main trunk (HEAD) in CVS is currently the 4.9 development version that we plan to release as 4.10 |
| | 28 | * The stable CVS branch for this release will be called "branch-4-10" (not created yet). |
| | 29 | * Current proposed date for creating "branch-4-10" is the date of the 4.10.0 release |
| | 30 | * If post-4.10 developments require earlier branching then please bring up your request for branching on the -dev list. |
| | 31 | * The betas will be tagged in CVS as "rel-4-10-0-beta1", "rel-4-10-0-beta2", ... and the releases as "rel-4-10-0", "rel-4-10-1", etc... |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | Bugzilla Conventions |
| | 34 | -------------------- |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | In order to facilitate querying the bugzilla database for bugs that still need to be addressed for this release, we try to stick to the following conventions: |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | * Bugs to be addressed for this release must have their target milestone set to "4.10 release" |
| | 39 | * Bugs/Enhancements? that can't make it in this release but that we may want to address at a later time should be marked with the "FUTURE" target milestone with a comment explaining that the bug is postponed and if possible a quick analysis |
| | 40 | * The target milestone on a bug should be set by the developers (bug owners) and not by the users (reporters). |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | Other good practices when dealing with bugs: |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | * Please file bugs for any non-trivial bugfix or change to the software. This is so that we keep a trace for future reference of all bugfixes and changes that were made (why and how). |
| | 45 | * Please mark bugs ASSIGNED as soon as you start working on them |
| | 46 | * Please when marking a bug fixed include a comment describing the fix, the version of the software in which it was done, and any other relevant information. This will just make our lives easier in a few months/years when questions come up about this issue. |
| | 47 | * When committing to CVS, please include the bug number in your CVS change log comment. |
| | 48 | * Keep documentation in mind when fixing/changing things: if you cannot update the documentation yourself then please create a documentation bug describing the new feature/change and which document(s) should be updated. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | The following query returns all currently open bugs that are tagged with the "4.10 release" target milestone: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/buglist.cgi?target_milestone=4.10+release&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED |
| | 51 | |

| | 55 | * MS RFC 11: Support for Curved Labels |
| | 56 | * MS RFC 13: SOS support |
| | 57 | * MS RFC 14: Relative Coordinates for INLINE features |
| | 58 | * MS RFC 16: MapScript WxS Services |
| | 59 | * MS RFC 18: Encryption of passwords in mapfiles |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | Open Tasks |
| | 62 | ---------- |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | * Documentation updates - Coordinate with all documentation contributors to bring all documents up to date for the release |
| | 65 | * Resp: Howard/Jeff |

| | 73 | Once completed, the tasks above should be moved down here. |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | |
| | 76 | MapServer BuildBot |
| | 77 | ------------------ |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | Developers are encouraged to test the effects of their CVS commits by forcing a build on the buildbot at: |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | http://mapserver.builds.hobu.net/ |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | Most of the major features are included in this build. |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | QA/Tests Checklist |
| | 87 | ------------------ |
| | 88 | |
| | 89 | This is a first attempt at documenting our QA and testing process. |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | We will maintain one copy of the QA/Test Checklist for each beta and release candidate leading to the final release. Each cell of the checklist corresponds to a feature or portion of the software to be tested: |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | * Build: Does MapServer compile on your platform? |
| | 94 | * mapserv: Does the mapserv CGI work? |
| | 95 | * Py-Tests: Does the Python test suite pass? |
| | 96 | * msautotest: Does the msautotest suite pass? |
| | 97 | * PHP: PHP MapScript |
| | 98 | * Python: Python MapScript |
| | 99 | * Perl: Perl MapScript |
| | 100 | * Java: Java MapScript |
| | 101 | * CSharp: CSharp MapScript |
| | 102 | * utils: Command-line utilities (shp2img, tile4ms, msencrypt, etc.) |
| | 103 | * GDAL: GDAL raster data acces |
| | 104 | * OGR: OGR vector data access |
| | 105 | * Postgis: Postgis data access |
| | 106 | * SDE: ESRI SDE data access |
| | 107 | * OCI: Oracle Spatial data access |
| | 108 | |
| | 109 | The extents to which each feature is tested is left up to the testers at this point. For each test performed, indicate the results with: |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | * p = passed |
| | 112 | * f = failed (include a bug # as reference, or a note below the table) |
| | 113 | * c = compiled (don't know if it works, but at least it compiles) |
| | 114 | |
| | 115 | Leave cells empty for tests that you are unable to perform. |
| | 116 | |
| | 117 | To volounteer as a tester please add a row to the table with your name, OS (and eventually test results) and let us know via the mapserver-dev list. |
