Re: [Sc-devel] SC3.2 deadline for changes = 21st Jan



Thanks Nick. As discussed before we should use release-candidate
methodology, so to be explicit:

On Monday 21st Jan we release SC 3.2rc1 to the user community. After a
couple of weeks of use, if there are no *important* bugs or omissions
then that release gets renamed as SC 3.2 (NOT any newer svn version).
If the release candidate is deemed not good enough then we release
3.2rc2 from a later svn version and repeat the cycle.

This has the slightly strange side-effect that SC 3.2, when finally
announced, will not necessarily be the latest SVN revision, it will be
a couple of weeks "old", but that is good for the stability of SC and
for our souls :)
