Time Nick Message 06:00 MTDiscord Merge and release tomorrow mayhaps? 10:25 [MTMatrix] https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/14049#issuecomment-1833482239 22:07 MTDiscord Sooo uh 22:07 MTDiscord 5.8 milestones are done 22:10 MTDiscord time for advent of minetest 22:15 MTDiscord nope: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/14059 22:15 Desour there's #14059. and we need an irrlicht revision for the android bugfix 22:15 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/14059 -- Fix sound and particlespawner id generation by Desour 22:15 Desour and maybe also the android render thing 22:16 MTDiscord Alright well nevermind then 22:18 Desour let's make an advent calender, one minetest release each day 22:18 grorp we don't need an irrlicht revision for the android bugfix I think, https://github.com/minetest/minetest_android_deps/commit/575c4ae5146df6f19a1699941d14ca696e921593 should be enough 22:19 MTDiscord Desour: Merge one PR per day? ^^ 22:19 Desour oh, that would be actually interesting 22:22 grorp regarding "the android render thing", it's probably not that important, and sfan5 said that he thinks it's too risky this late 22:31 Desour then it's only the id fix that's left 22:31 Desour a revert could also work instead of my PR, just FYI 22:33 rubenwardy Seems odd to have merged such a nonblocking fix so close to release 22:34 MTDiscord That would be my fault 22:36 MTDiscord (I was trying to get things moving along; appears to have backfired) 22:43 Desour I mean merging bugfixes in feature freeze is fine, by definition, afaik 22:47 [MTMatrix] well, we've got an approval on #14059. Desour I guess you can merge 22:47 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/14059 -- Fix sound and particlespawner id generation by Desour 22:48 [MTMatrix] Krock comment sounds also like an approval to me 22:52 Desour merging #14059 in 15 22:52 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/14059 -- Fix sound and particlespawner id generation by Desour 22:53 MTDiscord Isnt it a bit late for a release anyway? Its already late evening for those who are usually involved with that 22:54 [MTMatrix] Time will tell 22:54 MTDiscord Can't tell if the core devs will have time, but I imagine a release on Friday evening or on the weekend would probably be the most realistic. 22:57 sfan5 if we're aiming for a release today we have 3 minutes left 22:57 MTDiscord Er, 1 hour and 3 minutes, by UTC 22:58 sfan5 the clock in my kitchen isn't utc 22:58 MTDiscord Nor is mine 22:58 MTDiscord But the jam goes by UTC 23:01 MTDiscord ... and it's the 1st of December for me! 🎄 23:01 MTDiscord The jam has used a latest stable version target at the start of the work time the last 2 years, and its a bit late to change that now, so I dont feel like I have much room to work with as far as qualifying 5.8 23:04 MTDiscord I could technically stretch the definition to "the latest time in the world in which it is november", which would be an extra ... 14 hours? 23:06 MTDiscord Making an exception for 5.8 specifically if this is a "it will definitely be released within the first few days of december" situation might be an option if I could somehow get a decent community concensus in the next ... hour :/ 23:19 [MTMatrix] @greenxenith: I mean, there are no PRs/issues open, so it'll definitely be released within the first few days of December 23:20 [MTMatrix] personally I don't see the point of having a jam and not allowing the use of the new version. It can be a way to see some new things, e.g. people taking advantage of the new `start_time` sound parameter 23:22 MTDiscord The point of targeting whatever version is stable at the start is to make it fair for developers 23:23 MTDiscord Obviously I would prefer to target 5.8, but what if someone starts work with the notion that 5.8 isnt allowed, only to find out later 23:34 Mantar Seems like something that could be cleared up with a forum post. 23:40 MTDiscord I could mention it in the announcements, yeah 23:58 MTDiscord one minute for someone to give me opinions 23:59 MTDiscord do I take the gamble on 5.8 being released in the next day or two 23:59 MTDiscord yes 23:59 ROllerozxa lol sure 23:59 Mantar there are RCs for it, people can dev on those 23:59 MTDiscord this is minetest, when do we not take gambles?
