11:49 nerzhul     hey core team, one month ago i asked for 0.4.17 and it wasn't released. This is a big problem to maintain our presence, whereas the project is active our end users are waiting for our fixes. What is th remaining blocking problem ? (yeah i know i cannot be there at meeting as it's my lunch time and child lunch time)
11:49 nerzhul     merging #7313

12:07 Krock       nerzhul, in the last meeting there were also some lines about a 0.4.x freeze - but nothing happened since. However, 0.4.17-dev is stable enough for a release
12:08 nerzhul     then freeze this saturday
12:08 nerzhul     and release in 2 weeks (at least tag, the binary can wait if needed)
12:09 nerzhul     and prepare the announcement & release notes
18:14 paramat     MTG backports is ready. engine backports needs an important mapgen bugfix adding (< sfan5 ), then it is also ready and we can freeze, certainly this weekend
20:14 Wayward_One I take it this means we won't have an Android release for 0.4.17..?
20:19 Wayward_One ..assuming fixing the build would be too much work/out of the scope of the freeze
20:30 Krock       Wayward_One, do we need to backport some additional commits/PRs? Android is quite important for the userbase of Minetest
20:41 Wayward_One Krock, see http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/2018-03-31#i_5264357
20:45 nerzhul     Wayward_One, it seems some backports have backported c++11 code
20:47 Wayward_One Yeah, that's what I thought
21:12 Krock       Wayward_One, mind creating a PR to fix all together?
21:13 Krock       that way it'll also be possible for you to check whether there are further compiling/linking issues
21:14 Krock       however, we could also move to c++11 in 0.4.x but I'm not sure if that wouldn't arise more issues
21:20 nerzhul     Krock, it's not the deal
21:21 nerzhul     C++11 is for 0.5 it was one of the main concerns
21:23 Krock       nerzhul, so it's for 0.5.x only and 0.4.x will stay C++03 then?
21:23 nerzhul     yes
21:23 nerzhul     0.4.x must keep the old compiler toolchain
21:23 nerzhul     it was the deal :)
21:24 nerzhul     porting is not difficult, and if there are many issues with the C++11 backports maybe we backport other things than fixes ?
