Hi,<br><br>Just a heads up that we're going to start preparing for the 1.0.2 release, the second official release of WebKit (GTK+ port) in the next few days.<br><br>Some notes about this release:<br><br>1) Will be branched off SVN trunk with as few modifications as possible.<br>
2) Should be built with the default HTTP and font backends (CURL and FreeType, not libsoup and not Pango).<br>3) Will be the first release to be provided as a conventional GNU tarball with make dist.<br><br>The API should have additions only and the ABI should not have been broken since <a href="http://1.0.1.">1.0.1.</a> We need some help from the packaging team to:<br>
<br>1) Confirm API/ABI stability and ensure that there are no regressions in applications and language bindings (C#, Python, perl?) building against libwebkit-1.0 in Debian.<br><br>2) Confirm that 'make dist' produces complete tarballs with everything needed by distributions (both in terms of sources to build successfully and copyright licenses).<br>
<br>3) Ensure that it builds and works on all supported architectures and with the latest toolchain. If there are any build fixes required for any CPU architectures or the latest binutils/gcc, we'd like to merge these patches upstream _before_ branching. This includes determining if the Debian fixes for 1.0.1 (<a href="https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20662">https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20662</a>) are still relevant to 1.0.2 and if any new fixes are required.<br>
<br>4) Let us know of any major bugs reported in the WebKit packages themselves or in applications so we can make a last minute attempt to fix them.<br><br>There are fixes going into <a href="http://webkit.org">webkit.org</a> SVN trunk daily so remember to test with a current revision.<br>
<br>Looking forward to hearing back soon so we can get out a fantastic 1.0.2 complete with some high-quality un-patched packages in Debian.<br><br>Cheers!<br>
