Hi all, in particular devs and testers,
going to kyiv end april is approaching and thus i suggest to
go for a new set of stabilized releases. I'd kindly ask everyone
to focus mostly on stabilizing and merging work and to suspend
feature development until releases are out. We have a couple of build
issues, with lots of progress lately there, on almost all platforms.
I started a cross-repo project for the stabilization releases here:
https://github.com/orgs/deltachat/projects/9?add_cards_query=is%3Aopen
Please add to/update this project, and perform issue guardening
on the respective github issue trackers. Please don't do
additional "nice to have" features to the early-april releases.
Also please try to be pingable/available on #deltachat freenode the next
week to help others who want to move things.
Finally two notes regarding development on two major features:
- If location streaming is enabled as an opt-in "advanced/experimental
labs feature" depends now on stabilizing it. Otherwise it can
be disabled before and re-enabled after release.
- If RPGP (Rust in PGP) can be switched on by default in the releases
will be finally determined soon. Currently netpgp fails sometimes
to decrypt messages which were encrypted with RPGP.
As gpg can decrypt those failing messages just fine
it's probably a problem of netpgp. Still would be good
to know more precisely.
thanks and best,
holger
