> 212ac60 pull fix for sorted=false view feature (COUCHDB-3060)
* * *
A few notes on the “RC process” that I’ve just made up on the spot
(e.g. happy to hear about improvements =).
We’ll publish a new RC every Thursday before the weekly news come out
that includes any commits on master since the last RC and announce it on
dev@, user@ and marketing@ like In this email above.
We do this until we are comfortable that everything is in a state that
we’re happy to call a release.
* * *
A few things that we have to do during the RC-phase:
- double, triple, and quadruple-check all LICENSE and NOTICE files to adhere to ASF policy and to make sure we don’t pull in any incompatible licenses (e.g. *GPL) as dependencies.
- docs: make sure we get docs.couchdb.org up to speed with 2.0 so it makes sense to people who get started. This is mainly adding cluster bits, as most of the rest stays the same.
- blog post series: as outlined by Jenn, thanks to all the volunteers who signed up already <3
- integrate the new logo everywhere (fauxton, docs, installers, website)
- prepare website update (should make big splash about cluster and replication, and replication-family projects)
- update breaking changes docs
- update deprecations warnings and docs
- specifically, Alexander Shorin is working on pulling together a 1.7.0 release, that should include any deprecation warnings for things that are gone in 2.0 and onwards (either temporarily or permanently). We should get 1.7.0 out at the same time or before 2.0.
- figure out a way for more people to test release candidates more thoroughly. Elasticsearch has had good experience with an idea I suggested to them: send swag to anyone who reports an issue on a release candidate. Maybe Cloudant can spring for cool and exclusive CouchDB coffee/tea mugs with the new logo via Spreadshirt/Cafepress/etc… (so we don’t have to worry about fulfilment).
* * *
Let’s do this! :)

Sorry for the late email, but I’m holding RC3 for a little more cleanup work stopped by less individual availability than we had anticipated. I’ll publish it next Thursday the latest.
