1) I'll start "merging" branches/leo-ctx5 back to trunk soon.

- The "merge" isn't a merge, but a switch
- Please refrain from svn checkins until this is finished

- I'll send another note, when it's done

2) Thereafter the trunk remains feature-frozen

- no new feature checkins please
- bugfixes and such welcome
- examples and benchmark updates welcome (I'm pretty sure that some
examples are still using old calling conventions)
- non-trivial PASM examples should be rewritten in PIR
- updates to PLATFORMS, test results are wanted too

3) Release will follow at the weekend

Thanks,
leo

It's none of my business I know, but why not give the release a more
realistic number (e.g. 0.7.0)?

People tend to extrapolate that if it took 5 years to get to 0.2.3 then
it will take another 16 years to get to version 1.0.

Regards,
Roger Browne

Release number and name aren't decided yet. But I can image that it'll
be numbered 0.3.0

We've actually done a merge. It is complete. All committed changes
on the leo-ctx5 branch are now on trunk as of rev 9260. The leo-ctx5
branch was deleted as rev 9261.

If you have any checkouts of the leo-ctx5 branch, you will need to
switch them to trunk

cd parrot-checkout-of-leo-ctx5-branch
svn switch https://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk/

-R

Step 1) finished. All the merits and thanks belong to Robrt and clkao.
Robert did the actual work and clkao provided hints as well as the base
for the merge: svk.

Thanks folks - I would have been lost.

If you have a recent checkout of branches/leo-ctx5 just use "svn
switch" to switch the branch back to trunk.
If not - "svn co" the trunk as usual. The branch is probably gone
already.

Reminder: the trunk remains feature-frozen.

Bugfixes, docu upates, fixes to examples and so on are welcome,

thanks again all,
leo

I'll start the release procedure RSN. Please no more svn checkins at
all.
