515061 - (bz-release342) Release Bugzilla 3.0.9, 3.2.5, and 3.4.2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Buclin]

It's high time to release Bugzilla 3.5.1. It has numerous new features and improvements over the 3.4 branch. And it seems rather stable. We should also release 3.4.2 at the same time as it fixes some annoying bugs (bug 508181 comes to mind).

Before we release 3.4.2, we of course first have to fix the remaining blockers and decide if there are other fixes we want before its release. There is no emergency for a release, so we can decide what we want for 3.4.2 (we should go through all pending reviews and see if we want some asap).

  We some security bugs to do a release on, for this release. I think it might be an inappropriate time to also do a devel release, but with the timing of everything, I guess we'd probably better do it anyway.

Comment 2

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

I've changed my mind about releasing 3.5.1 along with these releases. I can do it next week. I don't want the information about the new features in 3.5.1 to be lost in the middle of a lot of information about the security issues being fixed.

Attachment: Website Updates

Okay, here are all the website updates (except the actual text of the security advisory, which will be pasted in once we are ready to release).

This also includes the release notes pages, which you can just skip over when doing review (because they're generated by a script and are just a copy of the actual release notes in Bugzilla itself).

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Oh, and as usual, the website updates are visible at:

Why are you adding so much newlines in this file?



>Index: src/status/changes.html

Note that I don't really understand the logic about the vertical alignment of releases. Why are there newlines between e.g. 3.0.7 and 3.0.8, but not between 3.0.8 and 3.0.9, or between 3.2.3 and 3.2.4?


Otherwise looks good. r=LpSolit

Nit: Why don't you simply say "running 2.23 or newer"?

  The wrong patch got attached.

  Releases that happen at the same time are horizontally parallel.

It's a joke, right? :-p Look at http://www-stage.bugzilla.org/status/changes.html yourself.

  I am. As you can see, 3.0.8, 3.2.5, and 3.4.2 are horizontally parallel. You're looking for the version number on the left, not the one on the right.

Here's the Release Announcement with the correction suggested by LpSolit.

Wow. Doesn't look intuitive to me. I always looked on the right, for years.

Tarballs and patches rolled and posted.

Comment 18

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

I have checked in the web site updates.

Comment 19

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Web site updates are visible, and all emails have been sent. FreshMeat was updated for 3.4.2, but with their new interface it's all very confusing as to whether or not adding additional releases is going to actually overwrite the download URL, so I didn't add the other ones.
