Beware: 2.7.1 Coming Tomorrow

wxWidgets 2.7.1 will be released on Wednesday October 11 2006 (I thought the year was worth mentioning, especially for people used to our usual release schedules). So today you have the last chance to test your code using the latest cvs sources or the last daily snapshot and let us know about any new problems in 2.7.1 so that we could fix them before the release (and, of course, break something else to compensate for it).

Please pay attention to the documented incompatible changes in the beginning of docs/changes.txt, especially if you hadn't used 2.7.0 before.

Thank you for testing!

hmmm... Wasn't October 4 last week?

You know, I think there is really something wrong between me and release dates. And this obviously goes as far as backdating the release date when there is a real risk of making a release on time...

Anyhow, corrected now, thanks a lot for noticing this embarassing mistake!

This means that wxCollapsiblePane won't be part of 2.7.1 even if I manage to create the patch for it for today, right?

In that case I can relax a bit :D

Vadim suggested stopping new patches at http://lists.wxwidgets.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?5:mss:78681 and since some of your patches (while heavily valuable) did break some ports I agree with delaying wxCollapsiblePane a little rather than introducing them in last minute.

Does this include the wholesale change to CoreGraphics by default on wxMac?

It's october 12th (at least CEST) and no 2.7.1 can be found on ftp servers :(

It wasn't full official announcement of incoming release. As it was stated in this blog description this is development blog which means it is summary of the activity around wx-dev mailing list in handy format for non-developers.

We are investigating current problems and there is none final decision yet about time of release. The problems are elaborated on wx-dev.

Please be patient!

In the meantime you can try latest CVS or release candidates at York site

Thanks for checking!

I think ABX means that they just missed the development date by a hair by what they hoped.
