Now that we’ve hit RC One of the final stages in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final release to the public. Also see alpha (beta)., we’re only dealing with regressions or 3.3-specific bugs. The window for guest committers is closed, and we’re all working with patches now — all commits first require secondary approval.
Confirmed 3.3 bugs
Five remaining bugs for 3.3. (See reports 5 or 6.)
- #19411, an issue with shortcodes in text widgets. Needs developer feedback.
- #19371, some limitations with the Admin_Bar API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. changes in 3.3. Needs developer feedback. Ideally, we solve this as simply as possible. That might be making get_nodes() public.
- #19408, need to finalize logic surrounding some strings on the welcome panel. Patch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. (from ryan) is about ready.
- #19410, “New” in + New icon on Admin (and super admin) Bar is black on focus. Patch from koopersmith ready to go.
- #19346, final styling and strings for maintenance releases. Patches from me and chexee ready to go.
Watching for more bugs
Need to watch two things. One, defects reported against trunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision., normally the first section of report 40. I just cleaned it out, so it’s empty.
Two, the Alpha/Beta support forums. I’ve been skimming these threads and they look impressively handled by ipstenu, duck_, and a number of others. If anything comes up, now is the time to sound the alarms.
String freeze
Per Jane’s post earlier this week, the goal is to release 3.3 in under two weeks. String freeze will likely occur on Friday, before the weekend. Need to handle #19346 and #19408, but that’s it — plenty of strings to be worked on.
Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven
I think both need version bumps.
#3-3
