time to release 1.99_10?
It's been a long time since we have released mp2, I think we should do it now.
I've postponed suggesting this till 5.8.1 is released, but it still didn't
happen two months later (guess what, mp2 was one of the showstoppers, but the
majority of the bugs were in perl ;). I think we should no longer wait for
5.8.1 release, on the opposite releasing it now will let more people to test
mp2 with 5.8.1-tobe which won't otherwise work with 1.99_09 (random hashing).
We have one problem with the recent pool destruction changes on win32, but we
can revert the changes, make a release and then work on putting it back when
it's fixed.
From running t/SMOKE I get occasional segfaults with no obvious causes and
which aren't so reproducable, I tend to blame the pool destruction changes,
since I didn't have those a few weeks ago (before that change).
One more thing I hoped that will go in is that sticky-configuration in
Apache::Test that Randy was working on, but this can wait I guess.
So unless you have any objections, I'll try to put out a release candidate
tomorrow.

Thanks Ian, I'll post a 1.99_10 release candidate in a few minutes (same as
the current cvs).

5.8.1 is out now,
and it looks like it is running fine with httpd/modperl2 (cvs versions)
on my OS/X machine.
I haven't done too much testing, but the basic 'hello world' works

We can always release 1.99_11 two weeks after 1.99_10, really ;)

Do you run t/SMOKE? If not, you should as it reveals problems undetected by a
single sequencial run of 'make test'

I'll release Apache 1.04 together with mp-1.99_10, 1.05 can go out the next
day ;) That's another reason I wanted 1.99_10 out - so we don't introduce last
moment problems in Apache::Test, it'd be nice to give them time to polish.

I dunno. I think waiting for 5.8.1 might be a good thing, so long as the
time is reasonable. so, maybe if 5.8.1 will be released in the next 2 weeks
then we should hold off.
but I don't feel strongly about it. I'm not really entirely convinced of it
- just throwing the idea out, really :)

there are always bugs. this one shouldn't be a showstopper for the next
release.

I haven't seen any problems in a while on my system. not that that means
anything ;)

unrelated, but I think a new CPAN release of Apache-Test is warranted soon.
both randy and I have been working on stuff that would be awfully nice to
have in the next CPAN release. if we can wrap either/both of these up
soonish it would make 1.05 valuable.
