ANother thing we shouldn't forget for the checklist: for major releases, the info booklet must be updated, and sent out to journalists at least a month before the release.<br>

# Release process<br>
<br>
Now that we're on our own, we need to improve our release process.<br>
<br>
## Calendar/Checklist:<br>
<br>
We need to develop a release checklist. An example is <a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Process/Release_Checklist" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Process/Release_Checklist</a>,<br>
<br>
Here is what we have until now:<br>
<br>
Release Checklist:<br>
* Write release post.<br>
* Changing the git version number.<br>
* Add a git-tag<br>
* Ping all translators team in a week before the packages build<br>
* Create translations tarball (dmitryK)<br>
* OSX build<br>
* Windows build(does it crash?)<br>
* Testing packages on:<br>
*Ubuntu(launchpad)<br>
*Arch<br>
*OpenSuse<br>
* Naming sceme<br>
<br>
Once we have defined a release schedule (task for Boudewijn), we will setup <br>

Krita Release Calendar]<br>
<br>
We're going back to one big release a year, with bugfix/small feature releases every month:<br>
<br>
Large releases VS Small Releases:<br>
Large releases are a change in the Y in X.Y.Z<br>
* These contain large features.<br>
* Are ideally released in March so that bugs can be fixed before <br>
</blockquote>
May(the <br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
kickstarter month)<br>
* Feature freeze at the least two month before expected release?<br>
* String freeze at the least two weeks before final release?<br>
Small releases are a change in Z in X.Y.Z<br>
* These contain bugfixes that weren't wishbugs.<br>
* And they contain small features. So new actions, tweaked hotkeys, a small modification to a c-plugin. No big feature changed in the core.<br>
* Feature freeze at the least two weeks before expected release?<br>
* String freeze at the least one week before final release?<br>
* Write marketing material(feature demo video/manual item/etc) around feature freeze.<br>
Features:<br>
Big features need to go into testing branches:<br>
* These are named testing-commiter or featurename-commiter<br>
* So do changes to the defaults. We have endusers use our master branch, let s wanr them before making big changes.<br>
* Branch merges into master need <a href="mailto:CCMAIL%3Akimageshop@kde.org" target="_blank">CCMAIL:kimageshop@kde.org</a><br>
Testing-releases:<br>
Alpha: Main features kickstarter+as many stretchgoals as we can fit.<br>
Beta:Real freeze in january. Bugfixing time!<br>
Final: Ideally done in March.<br>
<br>

## Branching<br>
<br>
Branches:<br>
3.0 has the main branch for the feature frozen code<br>
3.0.1 tag that points to the released version<br>
If the released version was cancelled due to a blocker but, we branch into 3.0.1.1 and cherry-pick neded commits there<br>
<br>
<br>
# Coding Priorities<br>

multilayer handling, layer docker improvements. Scott will work on a design for the improved layer docker.<br>
<br>
Missing animation features:<br>
<br>
* exporting frames to APNG/GIF/Spritesheet(This is a stretchgoal too)<br>
* cross-layer D&D<br>
* merging and other whole-image actions<br>
<br>
For 3.0, Boud is working on import/export of gimp brushes, general qt5 porting and now also on the OSX port...<br>
<br>
Abrahams is creating new action system, therefore requests we take action related stretchgoals to him first for discussion. So when adding a feature and/or stretchgoal, please ask Abrahams about how to implement shortcuts<br>
<br>
Abrahams has finished work on tablet support for Windows. We're back at a fork of the Qt code... But we'll try to keep the delta small so we can upstream patches to eCloud. For x11, that's hard since the tablet support <br>

## Vc 1.0 port<br>

Not much code needed, but let's push the change to a branch first so we can do a thorough regression test.<br>
