Hello everyone,
I am going to try to release the last planned beta of 2.6 and 3.0 this Wednesday. Looking at the stable buildbots and showstopper bugs indicates some work to do between now and then. Here are the showstoppers, along with my recommendations.
1878 class attribute cache failure (regression)
- Medium priority
- Guido, there are some design choices that need your decision. I'd like to fix this for beta 3 if it's going to be fixed at all, because I suspect the changes will be too disruptive once we reach release candidates.
2394 [Py3k] Finish the memoryview object implementation
- High priority
- This one is serious enough to hold up the release. I really do not think we should be finishing this implementation in the rc phase.
1179 [CVE-2007-4965] Integer overflow in imageop module
- High priority
- This will block final release and I think it needs to be fixed for this beta.
3131 2to3 can't find fixes_dir
- Medium priority
- I'm willing to defer this to the release candidates, but it will definitely block the release candidates.
3402 test_nis is hanging on Solaris
- Medium priority
- I suggest disabling this test and adding a note to the release notes. If nobody comes forward to fix it for the final release, tough.
3352 Deficiencies in multiprocessing/threading API
- Medium priority
- This one is getting some love, so I'm confident this will get fixed before beta 3.
As for the buildbots, they're not looking so good. It looks like the trunk has various failures in multiprocessing (hopefully fixed soon) and bsddb3. Also some crashes in test_anydbm. Hmm.
3.0 is looking better but there's a weird error in test_sys and test_threading.
