TODO/2.1

Git working directory: root

1. If you add items here make sure they are items VITAL to the 2.1 release only.
2. Critical bugs that would prevent the release also go here.
3. New features should not be included here. Add them to a future version or into TODO/General.
4. And if you find things that are not intended to go into 2.1 please move them as well.

Template:Changelog

General

• Release Notes: Remember that this time we will not create any 'early' Release Candidates (RC). Please use 2.1-devXX for test builds and betas. These builds should also be unannounced as such. The XX number should be incremented after each one. RCs will only be created when no new features are left for inclusion and a fairly stable code-base exists. This is also the point when a Template:Path branch will be created. Thanks for the attention. --Hoehrer 12:27, 11 January 2007 (CET)
