0.9.9.9 released -- and thank yous

We released 0.9.9.9 yesterday and it took us 5 or 6 hours from tagging the branch to releasing builds. That's pretty cool and makes for a smooth release. Also, I didn't screw anything up this time. :)

I'm an employee of PCF so it's my job to work on Miro (and the other things I work on). However, I'm just one guy and time is a limited resource. There's no way I can triage, identify and fix all bugs. I appreciate all the help that I can get. I had a bunch of help this release.

I wanted to thank the following people for the time they spent submitting quality bugs, sending in patches, and helping me fix issues:

If there's anyone else that helped out that I've forgotten, I apologize. Please kick me and/or comment below.

We're well on the path to a solid 1.0. When 1.0 is finally out, we start working through the architecture changes required for many of the features that have been suggested.

Problem found in the website: On this page: http://www.getmiro.com/download/ubuntu.php All your links are off. The repositories 404 in a webbrowser, and this is non-obvious when you're just plugging them into a package manager - it simply doesn't fetch anything, rather than give you an error. So, upgrading according to your instructions is impossible. http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu gutsy/ should be http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/gutsy/ Somebody subbed a space in for a slash. And they did it to all the versions, from Gutsy to Dapper.

Anonymo: The repository line for dapper, feisty and gutsy are all correct. If you're having problems, then it's probably an intermittent network or server issue. The tests you're using aren't good tests, so they don't tell you what you think they're telling you. You can learn more about repositories here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto Specifically the section on "Using a repository".

Anonymo: That's totally cool--you had a perfectly reasonable theory of what was going on. Rock on!

The reason that most people (men) pursue these avenues is really related to their desire to be better and for striving for improvement to make themselves better. Zenerx

True. But every once in a while a time comes along when someone decides to do something about that which really matters and by taking action, they actually can make a difference. Enzyte Pill

Ha! You would think that they world have OK'd it at the beginning instead of allowing it to go so long without saying a thing and then bringing it back up when it was too late. I don't understand it at all. Virility Patch RX

Post a new comment:

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.

Your name:


Your e-mail address (this doesn't get displayed to anyone--sometimes I'll reply directly to you):
