[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.9 Upcoming Beta Release Reminder

[Jason Stephenson]

Hi,

The below is an update on the Evergreen 2.9 beta release
scheduled for next Wednesday.

There will be no alpha release of Evergreen 2.9. With the beta
release scheduled to coincide with the monthly maintenance
releases next week on Wednesday, August 19, there is little point
in doing an alpha release right now.

This message is also meant to serve as a reminder of the beta
release and to encourage everyone to have a look at the bugs
targeted for the beta. You can find the list of them here:

https://launchpad.net/evergreen/+milestone/2.9-beta

The beta is the cut off point for new features. These are bugs
with a "Wishlist" importance in Launchpad, though some of
the "Undecided" bugs may fall into that category as well. Any new
features not merged by the time the beta is cut will need to wait
until the next major release.

Cheers,
Jason
