See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-stabilization for details on how release lines and voting work, what kinds of bugs can delay a release, etc. Status of 1.8.4: Candidate changes: ================== * r1469519, r1469520, r1481848, r1481870 Silence compiler warnings, tighten scopes and improve code. Justification: Clean builds make it more likely to notice real compiler warnings. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1469519-and-friends Votes: +1: blair, brane -0: philip (see dev thread: false alarm, trades one warning for another) * r1498000 Improve error handling for inherited property requests by using the transition based xml parser in libsvn_ra_serf. Justification: This maintenance work which usually doesn't belong in a patch release makes it possible to properly detect if this request should be restarted on non-chunk-enabled proxies. Votes: +1: rhuijben, ivan * r1496127 Fix occasional failure of checkout_tests.py 12. Justification: Spurious FAILs confuse people testing the release. Votes: +1: philip, rhuijben -0: danielsh (loses functionality; patch sent with alternative fix) stsp: where exactly is the alternative patch? danielsh: http://mid.gmane.org/20130705040533.GL3244@lp-shahaf.local * r1501293, r1501338, r1501360, r1501533 Fix issue #4390, "parallel nested checkout not possible with wc-ng" Justification: Regression from 1.6. User complained. See issue for details. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-issue4390 Depends: Nomination conflicts with the branch and merges cleanly without it. Branch should probably be removed from the nomination (it was only needed before r1503552). Votes: +1: stsp, rhuijben -0: ivan (not regression from 1.7.x, destructive change in libsvn_wc core) * r1501656, r1501702 Fix the ability to build Debug Build with BDB FS on Windows. Justification: Our build system should work properly. Votes: +1: breser, stefan2 -0: rhuijben (Not a regression and I don't think we should encourage building with just a debug BDB (even for release mode) by backporting this change. That would require using the non-distributable debug CRT. Trunk has a cleaner detection of BDB (via db.h) and even while debugging a maintainer build of Subversion a release BDB works fine) * r1524145 Make the 'm' conflict prompt option run external merge tool if configured. Justification: Usability fix. The current behaviour ('m' -> internal merge tool, 'l' -> external merge tool) confuses users who try 'm' to run an external merge tool. See issue #4426. Votes: +1: stsp * r1534149 In the windows CryptoAPI ssl certificate verification, properly handle certificates that are only trusted via intermediate authorities. Justification: While not strictly a bug, intermediate authorities are getting more common since recent Certificate Authority incidents. Notes: rhuijben: This introduces a new credential type as private API. Not sure about our strict ABI guarantees here, but this affects usability of users migrating to cloud platforms, etc. Votes: +1: rhuijben * r1533530 Fix latency issue when reusing svnserve connections. Justification: This simple patch affects all operations that run multiple requests over the same connection. It should improve things like e.g. merge.
