[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Like sugarplums, but they can't dance as well

[Soulliere, Robert]

Hi all,

I created installation instructions for 1.6.2:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server:1.6.2:install

and upgrading instructions:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=upgrading:evergreen:1.6.1.5_to_1.6.2.0

I don't think I have access to edit tine downloads page itself?

Upgrading instructions in official documentation also updated to reflect 1.6.2 as latest version:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/upgradingevergreen.html


Thanks,
Robert

I've cut and uploaded two new release tarballs this evening, one for
2.0-RC1 and one for the initial "gold" release of 1.6.2.0.  They live
in the usual spots, and I'd volunteer to update the website but I've
run out of steam and I'm out of town tomorrow.

One note about both of these is that neither contains the fix
committed for two documented bugs[1][2].  Both of their upstream
branches (trunk and rel_1_6) do, however.  I did not feel confident in
my standalone testing this close to cutting the releases to include
backports for those.  As soon as we can confirm (or not) the efficacy
of the fixes I will backport them.  The revision numbers are listed in
the LP bug tickets if you're curious.  This will likely cause a
1.6.2.1 in short-ish order, but I don't think it should cause another
RC as long as the fixes, as committed, work properly.

On a release-related note, I want to say a big "thank you" to everyone
that has tested, provided feedback, debugged, patched, documented,
improved and generally pitched with EG 2.0 in during this release
cycle.  There are plenty of rough edges and areas for improvement left
in the newest feature sets in Evergreen, but they're significantly
smaller and less dangerous than they would have been without all of
your help.  I'm personally really proud of and humbled by what we've
all collectively built, both in terms of the software /and/ an Open
Source community.

Everyone, have a good Holiday season, and get some well-deserved rest.  Please!

And, with that, I'm off to get some rest myself.  G'night.
