FYI - Planned 0.26 release schedule

Hi!

The planned schedule for the release of MythTV 0.26 was posted today.

As a direct result of this (-; we will soon need your help to update
your translations for 0.26.

The two important dates for us are July 15th and August 12th.

On July 15th will start the soft string freeze, the strings we have to
translate will be very close to final and you should try to complete and
submit your translations.

On August 12th will start the hard string freeze, the strings will be
the FINAL ones. The only thing at that point that could add a new string
is permitting the translation of an existing string which would have
otherwise stayed untranslated.

(If you find strings which are untranslatable please report them as soon
as possible...)

We should have less strings to translate than last time but you will
notice that some strings will have moved around but as long as they
didn't actually change lupdate will have recopied their content and the
only thing necessary will be to reconfirm them by marking them complete.

Once again thank you very much for your help!

Nicolas

Yes... (-;

Having shorter release cycles (releasing a new version) has been our
target for a while, our most recent releases (0.25 excluded) were done 6
months apart.

0.25 was an exception in that regard because we were working on several
large features so a short release cycle wasn't possible.

0.26 will contain all the current features of master (the development
branch) and fixes which could/were not backported to 0.25-fixes (or were
only backported partially to limit how intrusive the modifications to
our stable branch were). Everybody's need is different but I know some
people have been eagerly waiting for some of those in a stable branch.

A lot of work is now done in separate branches to keep the main
development branch, master, stable enough to allow for shorter release
cycles such as this one (4 months being the shortest and 8 should
normally be the longest).

And all this time you were missing on those new 0.25 features? (-;

If 0.26 doesn't have features or fixes you are looking for you can stay
on 0.25 for now (but please keep those updated translations coming...
(-; ) as it will always be possible to upgrade later (either to 0.26 or
a subsequent version). The procedure to upgrade between versions might
be different depending on how many versions there are between the
version you are upgrading from and the version you are upgrading to but
it will be possible.

(Personally I can't wait so I'm always running master on my "production"
backend to have all the latest features... (-; )

Thank you very much for your work and have a nice day!

Nicolas
