Thursday next week we will release RC2. This means a commit freeze for all but build fixes and README commits starting Monday evening. Also with RC2 any feature additions, regardless of how small, will no longer be allowed (when in doubt if a patch is a feature addition or a bug fix, ask one of the RMs). We are looking to really wrap things up quickly now. So if necessary expect an RC3 within 2 weeks after RC2. And we will continue with this cycle until we have a final release. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org --- ## #43824 — Lukas Kahwe Smith — 2009-05-03T20:22:05+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43793#43824 · In reply to: #43793 > So seriously ..

Ok, so what is missing before we can make a commit freeze starting Tuesday morning? regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org --- ## #43825 — Pierre Joye — 2009-05-03T22:59:06+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43793#43825 · In reply to: #43824 hi Lukas, The re3c bug (8k bug) for one.

Just as a reminder, we are now in a commit freeze until we have tagged RC2. If all goes well we will have the tag done sometime tomorrow. Please until then only do commits that are very well tested and that address build fixes. Commits to README's etc are also still legit. When in doubt talk to Johannes and Pierre pr proxy your requests through me (though I am not the one to make technical decisions). regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org --- ## #43848 — Arnaud Le Blanc — 2009-05-05T08:55:55+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43793#43848 · In reply to: #43832 > until then we need to > make sure we can get that re2c bug fixed and a new release out. this might > require reducing the bus factor on re2c. A good starting point for re2c internals is the following paper: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.27.1624 It looks like feasible to add the EOF feature to re2c (which means switching to states depending of their depth (to ensure to not read ahead), and becoming ungreedy on regexps like "foo"+ when their is no additional chars (to unsure to match a token without having to see an other char next to it)). Is anyone working on it already ? (or any thought on this ?) Regards, Arnaud
