0.3.4 release planning issue

[staticfloat]

Our monthly stable release is looming. Please discuss the inclusion of issues into this release that haven't already been merged. The 0.3.4 milestone is set for Dec 23rd, so let's shoot for that barring any big discussions on what to include.

As of the time of this writing, there are only two other issues beside this one that are specifically slated for 0.3.4.

We have a healthy 10 issues labeled backport pending. Some of them should probably be on the milestone instead, because they need more work than just some time to test on master and a cherry-pick.

also

• 9975b70 and
• 54affdb#diff-8d2b8a22d475d81e3a1944aedb57ad42R413 and
• 8203538 [edit by tkelman - sounds like we decided against this one]

which are each tagged individually, but still likely need to be backported

[tkelman]

• A modified version of d8cf6fe

will be needed to keep appveyor happy in the process of backporting the various recent suitesparse fixes (which are all labeled PR's I believe)

[tkelman]

And I'll want to apply

• the reverse of 06a7bb9 (included in Support building of system image in binary builds #9376)

unless win32 backtraces with sys.dll are going to include file and line number information. We'll have to test to make sure a backported version of #8074 works so users who want fast startup but don't mind degraded backtraces can choose to generate sys.dll themselves.

• ee4d1f2 (thanks @jey)
• 1d8e162
• 9c7a490
• 0c48dd8
• 04271cd
• 0b44aca and ed5a8fc and a2ff1ea and 0050b72
• 2841dec and a3d95db

(the backport pending label is just so this issue conveniently shows up in the same search)

[tkelman]

I think the status here is we're waiting for me to finish getting #9376 working on Windows, in case anyone was wondering.

[tkelman]

As far as backport pending issues go, my vote would be for holding off on #8388 and #9063 until shortly after tagging. There's a PCRE version question on #8388, and #9063 hasn't been on master for very long, so I'd prefer more testing time on release-0.3 in both cases.

[tkelman]

I have a crap version of sphinx, can someone else regenerate helpdb.jl? We should maybe backport 10b64dd early next cycle.

[ivarne]

Updated helpdb.jl in cec019442 (sorry, posted too soon, it's in 2496766)

[tkelman]

doc/manual/strings.rst doesn't go into helpdb.jl at all, does it? If not, are we good to tag?

[staticfloat]

I think so. I'm running release-candidate now just to double-check. When
it passes, I will tag.
