Hi!

It looks like the situation with the tests significantly improved 
(again, thanks a lot for everybody who took part!), so I plan to package 
5.4 beta tomorrow. If you have any fixes that must be in the beta 
(please test! ;), please do it in the next 12 hours or after the beta is 
tagged.

Thanks,

Hi:
   SessionHandler is not stable now, and remain some bugs need to be
fixed(one open bug #55690, and test failed)
   and arpad can not be connected now,  so you may need to double
check with him when you start packaging.

thanks

It's a beta release. Bugs may occur (that's why we have betas!).

hi!

I would rather say try to avoid committing huge changes before the
beta1 is out. The current tree builds and runs more or less good
(there are still some bugs around but it is acceptable for beta). It
would be bad to have last minute breakages only because of one or two
commits.

Cheers,

it's true, but it's neither a snapshot.
I would expect a beta to be more stable than a random snapshot, so it
would be useful, if the we wouldn't add untested/broken modifications
just before the beta release.
I'm not directly referring to the sessionhandler or #55690 particular,
but the tendency that everybody wants to push his changes just days
before the beta1.
they can be added with the next beta, so no hurry, I would appreciate
fewer but more stable features than one with more but unstable.

Could you look at the intl tests?
I have similar failures the the gcov, plus couple of more I sent you
the other day.

please post errors&co to the list, ccing the maintainers too. It is
then easier to be in sync.

About intl, it seems that many tests are ICU version specific
(regarding unicode and formatting rules correctness). Maybe we need to
add a couple of skipif and use the latest ICU version only as base
(where the unicode&co issues are fixed).

I really do not like it when you assume everyone else are idiots.
I ofcourse already sent it, in fact, it was in a reply about intl
tests failure thread that you yourself created.

Yes, I will. From casual look it seems like they are caused by variation 
between ICU versions, I'll look into how to make tests better - though 
for some tests it may be hard to do...

We do need tests per version. The EXPECTF-<configuration/platform>
becomes more and more necessary :)

The problem is data may vary by CLDR version, etc. and keeping pace with 
all variants on all platforms, etc. will be a nightmare.

To have a couple of versions, say x.y, x.y+1 sounds reasonable and possible.

Its not our responsibility to test the 3rd party library data, thats
for intl to test.
Just like its not our responsibility to test flex or OS network error messages.

We need to test that we understand the data and work with it properly.


My test failure seem to be both caused by data difference, but also
float precision and timezone issues, and thats within our domain to
ensure is working fine.

It is not about validating the correctness of ICU itself but our
binding or APIs usage. And to do that we have to deal with the ICU
results.

The remaining interbase/firebird errors are similar niggles ... but I'm not sure 
just how one would know that the error was actually the same data just viewed 
slightly differently? Float with the E or fully expanded is one which pops up 
often?
