release plan for 0.17

release plan for 0.17

[David Bremner]

Hi Gang;

It's been a while since we had a release. There are some ABI breaking
ideas around, but I think it makes sense to release and then forge
forward with those.

Since I'm moving at a pretty slow pace these days on notmuch (and
everything) I propose the following schedule:

            Feature freeze: November 8
            Hard freeze: November 22
            Release: November 28 (approximately)

Feel free to start tagging things as notmuch:0.17 in nmbug if you think
they can be squeezed in the next few weeks.

This schedule is apparently extremely approximate. I just pushed a tag
0.17_rc1. Notmuch can be considered feature frozen for 0.17 at this
point. Doc changes and (important) bug fixes are still
welcome.

Development can continue on master, but please let me know if you think
I should cherry-pick changes to the release branch; or perhaps better,
let me apply them on release and merge to master.

I have pushed a tag 0.17_rc2 which has a couple of bug fixes from
0.17_rc1.  Unless some serious bug turns up I'd like to release 0.17
next week.  People are encouraged to look at

     git shortlog 0.16..0.17_rc2

and look for missing NEWS items.  My (subjectively) edited version
follows.  (P.S. congrats to Mark Walters, who moves in to #4 in the
overall commit race, #1 for this release ;) )

[PATCH] News updates for Mark's bugfixes

[Mark Walters]

---
Here is the NEWS for my bugfixes. I have not provided a news item for
"emacs: bugfix unquoted symbol" as that was only briefly a bug during
this development cycle: the bug was not present in any release.

Best wishes

Mark
