Two 1.2 milestones

There seems to be a new milestone "1.2.x known bugs". Is there a good reason to have two milestones for 1.2? As we enter into the freeze phase for 1.2, it would be easier to just track a single milestone.

Mike

According to mpl release calendar, the feature freeze is for 2.0, not
1.2.

Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Thanks for pointing this out. There was some disagreement/discussion about what to call the next release. In the end, it was decided to call it 1.2.There was a 2.0 milestone for a while, and all of those were moved to 1.2. I'll update the calendar.

I made the “1.2.x known bugs” milestone. I wanted a way of drawing attention to them, without bundling them in the 1.2.x milestone. The main motivation for this was because there is nobody currently working on them, yet they are confirmed bugs which, unless we address them, will be known bugs in the release.

I don’t envisage the milestone to be a longterm thing, but I do think its helpful to separate them from things we definitely want to resolve before taking a 1.2.x cut. I would be happy even if we delete the milestone first thing after the freeze tomorrow.

Regards,

Phil

Ok. That's a reasonable rationale. Let's keep it as it is for now.

Thanks for all of the bug triaging you've been doing this weekend! Looks like you've been drinking the right kind of coffee!
