[Digikam-devel] 0.9.1 release plan...

[Gilles Caulier-2]

Hi all,

TODO LIST --------------------------------------------------------

You can see below all tasks to do before to release 0.9.1-beta1 :

- Bug 127583: keywords, copyright, photographer info not saved to IPTC tags :

This file will be fixed after to have used MetadataHub class instead DMetadata
everywhere. I have already identified all places in source code using "TODO
MetadataHub:" string. There is 20 matches in source code to fix...

Marcel, i let's you manage this entry. You know better than me MetadataHub
class... I recommend you to remove the MetadataHub instance in Comments &
Tags implementation and use a global instance instead intialized in
DigikamApp at startup (like AlbumSettings instance for example). After, just
use this one everywhere...

- Some Album icon view menu actions need to be disable with Preview mode (for
ex. Select all). It's in my TODO list.

- DImg::RawLoader have a bug with unsupported RAW file by dcraw version used
by digiKam. The loader go to in eternal loop if there is no
DImgLoaderObserver instance used. This bug can only reproduce with digiKam
kio-slave. Image editor is not affected.

Marcel, i have reported this problem to you by a private mail. This problem is
important becise the thumbs process will be stopped definitivly in this case.
I hope that you can fix it...

RELEASE PLAN -------------------------------------------------------

I propose this release plan

- 0.9.1-beta1 : 2007-11-02.
- 0.9.1-RC : 2007-18-02.
- 0.9.1-final : 2007-25-02.

We need volumters to prepare digiKam and DigikamImagePlugins tarballs at these
dates. Unforget than all B.K.O files fixed _and_ all news features are
annoted to NEWS file from svn. Just use these informations to post the
release announce.

Gerhard, Fabien, Achim, Luka... Let's me hear your availabilities...

AVAILABILITIES --------------------------------------------------------

Personaly, i will in holidays from 2007-23-02 to 2007-02-03. i will out of my
office and out of home. No speed Internet connection available, just an RTC
modem with my poor laptop...

Marcel study actually in university. Shared time is very limited until
2007-09-02.

Let's me hear you viewpoints and remarks. Thanks in advance

Gilles

I will also check how easy it is to make Full screen in preview mode to hide
most of the stuff (toolbar, statubar, sidebars), similar to image editor.
Related bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135655

This looks good enough that we can push it into Ubuntu Feisty release (we will
need to request Upstream Version Freeze exception, but we should be able to
get it).

I am counting on great work from Achim on debian packages, but I can jump in
if he will not have time to work on this.

> Gerhard, Fabien, Achim, Luka... Let's me hear your availabilities...

I am quite busy until Feb 7 (Ubuntu Feisty feature freeze), and then will
probably be off the internet until Feb 12. From then on, I am available to
help with potential packaging/bugfixing (as much as work and family
permits ;-))

Yep, and we have a pile of things on his list when he is back. ;-)

Luka

But I don't know if i can do it soon, the patch is simple is the one in document.cpp
described into the bug. OTH what i don't know if digikam has
image.dotsPerMeterX() and image.dotsPerMeterY() correctly set or has some
problems as gwenview. Let me know it, I'll try to provide a patch soon, at least
concerning the image printing one.

I know digikam is well tested in svn, but imho it's a bit optimistic
a fortnight's cycle of testing for final. OTH I know the days can be postponned
during that phase...

Have a good time, even if I believe I'll hear from you before your first day :)

Are you talking about DImg object or Qimage object into printing
implementation ?

DImg do not have this information yet. A QImage converted from a DImg will be
not set especially.

What do you whant to do with image.dotsPerMeterX() and image.dotsPerMeterY() ?

I think we can backport easily these methods from QImge into DImg...

The beta1 release date is fine. Talking with Marcel yesterday by IRC, normally
all will be done before this date.

Of course, if we have some critical user reports in B.K.O to fix before final,
we can delay the final release.

Release plan still flexible of course. we are in open source world (:=)))

Well to be honest i have to check, because IIRC there are some difference in

the way i implemented it in gv and the the way i ported in digikam to leave its
old implementation.
Anyway the problem reported was concerning the way in which all the kde appls
print images without scaling and with dpi info in them. Just think to the scanned
images for instance. You can get those info from the file (jpeg, png, tiff, ....) and
QImage in my experience didn't.

I'm not against that of course :) I just wanna say that the most use the program

as soon as their distro release the package, so a week is not too much imo.

Cheers,

Unfortunately, I won't have a lot of time. I will continue to focus on
the french translation. I hope it will be ready before final version :)

fine. All strings will be frozen later 0.9.1-beta1.

Gerhard, unforget to post a message to i18n mailing list.

Fabien, let's me hear when a translation will be complete. I would take a
look.

Gilles, can I go ahead with the beta1 release, if not when?

Is there  a string freeze, can I inform the i18n team?

As usual (but it needs to be said all the time) all developpers have done a
great job :-))
