Do you think we will manage to fix all the current bugs in the 10 next days ? What are the most important show-stoppers for the moment ?
A few days ago I wrote to the list:
Will it be bug-free? I don't think so. Will it be the last phpMyAdmin version? I don't think so. Will 2.2.1 be better? I think yes.
I know that 2.2.0 is a milestone and that it must be good, but we can't make it perfect.
ok, right :)
So, let's set a release date, for example in one week ? 2.2.0-final on Sunday 26. August. Today is D - 8.
I will surely not please all developpers, but I think that we can release it now, because: using the most popular browsers, and in day-to-day operations, this version is stable and useful.
Yes, it is pretty stable :) Just tested a lots of things, and only had problems with the user administration pages: adding users is ok, but not editing or setting a db to an user. Could you also make some tries with this page ?
Suggestion for the release plan / tasks list:
[ ] every developper tests so many things as possible, and in both modes (adv auth and std), especially file upload things, and every new features. [ ] redesign of the http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ page [ ] write a list of major changes/improvements since version 2.1.0 (the changelog is _way_ too long :) [ ] check if the security problems of 2.1.0 are really solved (wouldn't be nice to get a security advisory just after the release...:) [ ] prepare a kind of "press release", which can then be used to announce the release (and reborn) of phpmyadmin to sites like lwn.net, php info pages, etc : something in english in french would be nice, don't you think ? [ ] proof-read the docs [ ] on wednesday or thursday, I'll pack a 2.2.0-cvs package, and ask the people on the users forum to make some last tests just in case... [ ] ... something else ? please add here :)
I'll prepare a draft for the press release the next days, and we can then discuss it here.
