Hi,<br>
Further to my previous comment about the releases page fluff, that
seems to have gone now. <br>
Please disregard my comment! :D<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ralph<br>

<div>Hmm, looks like AC_INIT calls `./tools/git-version-gen
--prefix '' .tarball-version`, which returns UNKNOWN. Seems
like our release process might be leaving out some steps. I
guess I'll dig more tomorrow.</div>

<div>So, I was able to do the release on time (after filling
in a few blanks in our documentation). But I only did the
website updates tonight. I seem to have run into a small
problem there- when I download the release tarball, and
run ./autogen.sh, i get a ./configure file which has
'UNKNOWN' as the package version number. This also happens
with 1.1.1 as well. Is this happening for anyone else?</div>

<div> Hi,<br>
OK, I think I have done that.<br>
<br>
Because we are short on time I cut and pasted the
release note fragments from my spreadsheet into the NEWS
file with Apostrophe MD file editor and whipped them
into shape manually.<br>
First time using it and it is pretty good. Obviously,
this was a manual process, but it wasn't too onerous.<br>
<br>
I couldn't get the towncrier thingy to work anyway. I
don't really have much experience with python and pip.
Python seems an awful lot more complicated since the
last time I used it :(<br>
<br>
I have pushed the release notes in NEWS to your branch.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Maybe if you keep some notes on what you did, I
can incorporate your method instead of towncrier.</div>

<div> Hi,<br>
In this case I didn't generate the towncrier
files. It's a lot of faff if you don't do it as
you go along.<br>
I just put them into a spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
I will try to generate the release notes from
that.<br>

I think if we are going for
your proposed plan, then we
are official in <br>
code freeze for 1.2.1.<br>
If you want to proceed, I can
prepare release notes.<br>
<br>
