Plus the modification of `CURRENT' of course:

Sorry.

3.0.6?

[Jos Backus]

Are there any plans to release a (final?) stable 3.0.6 distribution, given
that all new development seems to be happening along the 3.1.x branch
nowadays?

Thanks,

If there was a development coordinator, this would definitely be a good
idea, since some of the bugs are quite sizeable, and there is a set of
patches to do it.  Unfortunately there's no one around to make releases at
the moment.  I've no idea when he's likely to come back.

Hm, that's too bad. Any pointers as to where the current patch set for 3.0.5
can be found?

And thanks to all of you for keeping zsh development alive. 3.2(?) looks very
promising.

Cheers,

It seems to me that zsh work is a bit undirected for exactly this lack of a
coordinator doing releases.  Can I propose that someone volunteer to put 
together a 3.0.6 release, and someone (perhaps else) step forward to be
the 3.1.x maintainer?

I wonder how much work this would be. It would definitely help with keeping
zsh on the radar screen.

Maybe a very short final testing period would be a good idea after rolling a
candidate release, too.

/me ducks :-)

Seriously, I consider myself to be rather underqualified for this task, sorry.

I believe the most suitable person for a 3.0.6 release would be Bart since
I think only he has kept up to date with patches for 3.0.5 - and has been
adapting bugfixes for 3.1.5 back to 3.0.5 .  Everyone else seems to be
concentrating on 3.1.5-pws-? (except for the new completion which only
Sven, Peter and Bart seem to have looked at in depth - arghhh, I need more
hours in the week; actually, more hours in the week where I won't do
work.  Can anyone point me to a summary of the current completion language
or is the manual up-to-date?)

As for 3.1.6 - that branch is probably still too fast moving at the moment.
Though given it is a beta branch....

What is the news on Zefram?  Does he still have access to his fysh.org
account?

:Maybe a very short final testing period would be a good idea after rolling a

Well, maybe not too short.

Thanks; however, Bart is pretty well tied up through the end of March.
If someone else wants to base a release on my patches, I can try to be
sure the files at ftp.brasslantern.com:/pub/zsh are up to date (they
should be pretty close right now).  I won't be able to do that until
the weekend, though.

One big thing missing from the patches I've collected are documentation
changes.  There must be yodl sources for the 3.0 manual *somewhere*, but
they've never been included in any release.

Sorry for the delay in replying.  Busy with work and stuff.  Almost
caught up on zsh-mail ...

It seems that he does now.

The last information I had was that he doesn't even have a telephone
line into the house where he now lives, and since he went contracting,
doesn't have work-access to zsh anymore.

Fairly recently, he hadn't checked email in a few months, however I just
looked and his mailbox has shrunk considerably and:

Bleurgh.  I did look ahead for anything from him.  I guess that I'm just
blind and didn't notice his announcement.
