Hi!
Apparently, we missed "mid November" but alpha1 would still be possible
this year. But we need at least go through all bugs/feature requests
blocking 3.3 and decide how to solve them or to postpone them to 3.4.
Regarding input operators we mostly agreed on its behavior. If nobody
volunteers to implement the auto-resize part at the moment, we could
consider postponing that part (and raise an "not implemented yet"
assertion for zero-sized objects at least for alpha1).
Regarding evaluators, I would appreciate, if we can make the tests
compile on <2GB machines again (but no need to block alpha1 for that).
Gael, you said memory requirements should decrease after some clean-up?
Cheers,
Christoph

Hi,
I'd like to discuss about a release plan for the next 3.3 version.
First, let me recall that the devel branch includes several major new
features:
- AVX/FMA
- D&C SVD (see other thread)
- a novel product kernel
- novel expression template engine
All these features are pretty well advanced without remaining API issues
for normal usage, so I think it's time to plan an alpha1 release asap, for
instance around mid november? This release would be synchronized with a
feature freeze: other features could be added before the alpha1 release, at
the condition they are sufficiently mature and mostly need internal
cleaning/documentation. This probably means that most of the "enhancement"
bug entries attached to 3.3 will be postponed to 3.4.
Then, a beta1 could follow within a month or two. For beta1, all the minor
internal design decisions that are still in suspens regarding the
expression evaluator will have to be resolved.
cheers,
Gael
