Just a reminder that we should be releasing Beta6.3 on Sunday at the latest.

DaniJ

Thats fine by me.

I plan to get a few more bug fixes done in the mean time.

How's it looking? I'm putting together the OS X package for some QA now.

DaniJ

I'm done. I'll start on packaging the Windows release.

skyjake

Check your release number in dd_version.h, I just committed an update to beta6.3.

DaniJ

I'm only just getting around to packing it... it takes a while to reinstall all of our install dependencies.

Yes I did notice your commit :-) I've just bumped the version numbers of the plugins.

skyjake

I'm uploading the OS X release now.

<strong>EDIT:</strong> It's up there now.

DaniJ

Sigh. This may take a while... for some reason Snowberry is now apparently dependent upon the MSVC 9 runtime. I'm currently looking into it.

<strong>EDIT</strong>: Hmm, this is looking (to me) like a problem with py2exe. I'm going to try reverting to a previous version.

<strong>EDIT2</strong>: The Windows release package is now up. I've gone back to Python 2.5 for this release as resolving this problem satisfactorily will take me a while, as it will mean figuring out which packages have changed, etc, etc, and most likely updating our installer to handle the redistributable.

Incidentally, when I upgraded to wxPython 2.8.10 on the Mac, I had to upgrade py2App as well (it was failing with some weird error). None of this should have effect on the Windows platform, though...

DaniJ

Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place but I'm not finding much help out there on py2exe...

I'll look at the problem more when I have the time. Python 2.5 is getting on a bit now and there is no reason for us not to upgrade(?).

skyjake

Yeah, we could upgrade Python, too.

DaniJ

Ok, lets make the release announcements. I'll enlist the help of one our users to report the release to the DOOM community sites and write a release message at the forum.
