Dear all, finally, we are (almost) ready to release the new versions MonetDB 4.12.0 MonetDB/SQL 2.12.0 MonetDB/XQuery 0.12.0 also nicknamed "Ceres" --- a small detour on our trip to Mars (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Ceres http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_404.html ) "Almost" means that all source are "stable" and all packages are built. The latter are (temporarily) available from http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/.DailyBuilds.MonetDB_4... The respective CVS versions are tagged as "MonetDB_4-12-0" "SQL_2-12-0" "XQuery_0-12-0" Please do not touch these tags. Propagation of future bug fixes from the release branches to the development trunk will be suspended until Sjoerd and me are back from our trip at te beginning of July. What's missing is to upload all this to SF (those at CWI will find all files incl. the usual release notes and chang logs in /net/corona.ins.cwi.nl/export/scratch0/manegold/MonetDB_4-12-0/ ). Further, the web site has to be updated and the release needs to be announced (a template for the announce mail is in /net/corona.ins.cwi.nl/export/scratch0/manegold/MonetDB_4-12-0/AnnounceMail-4.12.0 ). Since I have to catch my plane to Chicago tomorrow morning, I'll leave these tasks trustfully to you. Stefan ps: As you might have noticed, I'm only talking about the M4 related release. I was not aware that the M5 alpha source-tarball-only release was planned to happen together with the M4 release; I thought they only "by chance" happened to happen at about the same time... I agree with Fabian, that the M5 alpha source-tarball-only release should indeed be based on the M4 [421].12.0 release(s), but I had no time to take care of that and/or to shift M5 testing from the "Current" to the "Stable" branch. But since the M4 [421].12.0 release(s) are now ready, please feel free to use them to build the M5 alpha source-tarball-only release ;-) -- | Dr. Stefan Manegold | mailto:Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl | | CWI, P.O.Box 94079 | http://www.cwi.nl/~manegold/ | | 1090 GB Amsterdam | Tel.: +31 (20) 592-4212 | | The Netherlands | Fax : +31 (20) 592-4312 |
