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.

How finished is finished? I see Antoine has implemented a little more of it.

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.

I've never used imageop, but I'll see if I can review the patch.

3131 2to3 can't find fixesdir - - Medium priority - - I'm willing to defer this to the release candidates, but it will definitely block the release candidates.

This is pretty simple. There are patches that can be applied, but I think 2to3 requires a little refactoring. I suppose that can be done after the beta, though.

3402 testnis 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.

Jesse said he could have it done today.

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 testanydbm. Hmm. 3.0 is looking better but there's a weird error in testsys and testthreading. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIqj4v2YZpQepbvXERAolaAJ4uydGlv5wP2/SrZt4HzROkWfQUeACcDyoJ 7DZW8MgxYKQMedhj7wJywDo= =oJk1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
