[Gfoss] QGIS 1.0.0 Preview II

[Paolo Cavallini]

Uscita la preview 2 di QGIS 1.0.
Si pregano gli utenti di verificare se i bugs segnalati siano ancora validi.
Un buon suggerimento di Tim: perche' non tenere una bug verification
fest, in cui tutti insieme scorriamo la lista dei bugs e chiudiamo tutti
quelli che non sono piu' validi (e ce ne sono)?
Io ci sono, basta trovarsi in IRC su #gfoss una volta che un po' di
persone hanno installato la preview 2. Se a qualcuno servono i deb per
lenny (64 e 32 bit), faccia sapere e li metto a disposizione.
Saluti.

1) QGIS 1.0 Preview II Tagged


We are inching closer to a QGIS 1.0 release. With the QGIS API revision
done, and heaps more bug fixes from our dedicated team of developers, I
have tagged QGIS 1.0.0 Preview II so we can put what we have out for
more testing. I expect that I will put out a Preview III early december
with the hope of having the final QGIS 1.0 release out for end of Dec
2008 (assuming everyone is happy to go ahead and release).

NOTE: This is a *preview* version, NOT the final release.


2) Preview II checkout notes:

NOTE: For developers and people used to building from source

To check out the tagged preview II do:

svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/tags/Release-1_0_0-preview2


3) Packagers:

If packagers could be so kind as to build new preview packages, we can
make those available from our web site and encourage testing with a more
up to date QGIS. If you notify me when your packages are available, I
will add them to http://download.qgis.org


4) Plugin Writers:

I'll let the API cleanups settle for a week or so at which point if
there has been no further no further need for tweaking, we should
declare QGIS 1.0 API frozen and encourage plugin writers to ready their
plugins for the final QGIS 1.0.0 release. I will send out an email
during the course of next week to keep you updated of the situation.

...

6) QGIS Users & Developers:

Once the Preview II package is available for your operating system (or
you have built it yourself), please check through your tickets in trac
if you have previously filed bugs. If your bugs are no longer valid,
please close them. If there are requests for information pending, please
help us by giving the needed details.

If you are in a GIS User Group why not hold a bug verification fest
where you spend a morning going through the bug queue validating and
marking for closure all bugs that are no longer issues.

...

8) Special note for Ubuntu 8.10 Users

There have been reports about QGIS and other Qt based applications not
starting. There is a ticket filed for this here:

http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1384

You should be able to resolve the issue by doing:

sudo apt-get remove --purge uim-qt3

Please follow the above ticket if this does not work for you or you need
further info.
