Road To 1.0

│ English (en) │ español (es) │ 日本語 (ja) │

This document helps the Lazarus team to focus on a 1.0 release in the near future.

The work to be done is divided into 3 targets:

• things to be done before the next release (0.9.16)
• things to be done before the 1.0 release
• things to be done after the 1.0 release

Setting the target of a bugfix

When new bugs are entered, we try to give them a target in which version the bug will be fixed. If a bug is set to post 1.0, that means the developers think this bug is not important enough to block a 1.0 release. In order to have a 1.0 sooner rather than later, developers will leave those bugs for later. Of course you can make sure these post 1.0 issues are fixed in the 1.0 release by providing patches for these issues.

Some criteria are:

• Only gtk1 and win32 widget sets are stable in 1.0. So bugs for other widget set (gtk2, carbon) are set to post 1.0.
• Until the 1.0 there will be a feature freeze. New features and components generally get a post 1.0 target. Bugs affecting stability have a higher priority than bugs fixing the implementation of a property.
• Some components are not stable enough and should be disabled for 1.0. If they are disabled, then fixing them before 1.0 will not be necessary.
