Bugfixing and 10.3 maintenance release
I've been thinking quite a bit about the bug backlog and was wondering
what it might take to get the community motivated to fix bugs. I decided
that what might really help is a maintenance release. We already have
some valuable fixes in 10.3 which users have asked for. If each
developer were willing to put in a couple more we could have a valuable
maintenance release in December. Who would be willing to participate
if I were to volunteer to be release manager for a release December
10? By participate I mean would you be willing to make fixes or test
the release? If we get enough community enthusiasm for the release I
think it is worth doing.

I will help out - I think with getting some of the test issues back
log out of the way or at least further analyzed; as well as testing. I
also plan to help out by addressing some of the release build issues -
if no one beats me to it.

I am planning to spend some time on bug fixing and having a release

I also plan to devote some cycles on bugfixing for the maintenance

As a user, in particular I would like to see some of those yucky
security exceptions with the network server get resolved (or must
those be done in a feature release?)

Thanks Bernt and all who replied. I think there is definitely enough
stated interest and I am sure there are a few lurkers out there too,
from whom we might get a fix or two. I say let's do it. It would be
great to see the bug backlog get down below 250.
I'll set up a release page. We will shoot for release candidate
November 26 and release December 10. Happy Bugfixing!

I think a 10.3 update release at the end of this year is a good thing
and not in conflict with a 10.4 feature release in Q1 2008. I will
also devote some time to fix a bug or two.

I think having a maintenance release in this time frame would be good.
I would be available to fix bugs. As usual I would fix bugs in the
trunk and then backport them to the 10.3 branch - so both the
maintenance release and the currently discussed 1st quarter trunk
release would benefit.
