Hi all,<br>
<br>
*NO* replies requested. Different technique this time. Please edit the<br>
bug tracker directly. (Unless you have problems with the bug tracker:<br>
if so, please feel free to reply here with your suggestions.)<br>
<br>
We are planning for CMake 2.8.7, aiming for a December release. We're<br>
targeting Dec. 28, 2011 for releasing it, and in order to make that<br>
happen we'll have to do an "rc1" by Dec. 7th or so... about 7 weeks<br>
from now.<br>
<br>
If you have a particular issue that you think should be fixed for<br>
inclusion in 2.8.7, please put it on the roadmap yourself by the end<br>
of next week, Fri. Oct. 28th. To do so, edit the bug at<br>
<a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug" target="_blank">http://public.kitware.com/Bug</a> and set the "Target Version" field to<br>
"CMake 2.8.7" - that will make it appear on the roadmap page (<br>
<a href="http://www.cmake.org/Bug/roadmap_page.php?version_id=89" target="_blank">http://www.cmake.org/Bug/roadmap_page.php?version_id=89</a> ). Also: add a<br>
note saying why it's important to you, or even add a patch that fixes<br>
and documents and tests it if you're able to.<br>
<br>
Ideally, each issue will be discussed as needed on the mailing list to<br>
come to any consensus about what should be done to fix it, and then<br>
the entry in the bug tracker may be used to keep it on the radar<br>
screen, and to track activity related to it.<br>
<br>
Patches are *always* welcome. Patches that include testing of any new<br>
features, or tests that prove a bug is really fixed on the dashboards<br>
are better: a patch with testing is strongly preferred over a patch<br>
with no testing. Also, if you are *adding* code, then you also<br>
probably need to add *tests* of that code, so that the coverage<br>
percentage stays as is or rises.<br>
<br>
Please discuss issues here on the mailing list as needed, and add<br>
notes to existing issues in the bug tracker that you are interested in<br>
seeing fixed for 2.8.7 -- we will be looking at activity both on the<br>
mailing list and in the bug tracker to help prioritize the bug fixes<br>
for the next couple months.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

P.S. - as a nice summary of what we accomplished in the CMake 2.8.6<br>
release, including contributions from 27 individuals around the world,<br>
see here: <a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php?version_id=87" target="_blank">http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php?version_id=87</a><br>
-- it currently lists 43 issues that we resolved: nice job, everybody!<br>
<br>
(Many of those were specifically addressed because somebody brought it<br>
up in response to my similar email from just after 2.8.5... Don't be<br>
shy!)<br>
