I'm hoping this one isn't too hard to fix.

Hi all,

Now that we have released CMake 2.8.4, *now* would be a great time to 
prioritize bug fixes for the next release of CMake.

Replies requested. Read on. Just a short reply with bug numbers or links 
to the bugs is all we need here. Please move specific discussions into 
the bugs themselves or start a new thread to talk about it... Replies on 
this thread should just be a collector for bug numbers.

We are aiming for quarterly releases from now on, scheduling them every 3 
or 4 months. That would make the next release of CMake version 2.8.5,
 scheduled to have an "rc1" release candidate on Wed. April 27, 2011.

If you have a particular issue that you think should be fixed for 
inclusion in 2.8.5, please bring it up by the end of this week. Ideally, 
each issue will be discussed as needed on the mailing list to come to any 
consensus about what should be done to fix it, and then an entry in the 
bug tracker may be used to keep it on the radar screen, and to track 
activity related to it.

Patches are always welcome. Patches that include testing of any new 
features, or tests that prove a bug is really fixed on the dashboards, 
basically any patch with testing is preferred over a patch with no 
testing. Also, if you are *adding* code, then you also probably need to 
add *tests* of that code, so that the coverage percentage stays as is or 
rises.

Please discuss issues here as needed, and add notes to existing issues in 
the bug tracker that you are interested in seeing fixed for 2.8.5 -- we 
will be looking at the mailing list and activity in the bug tracker to 
help prioritize the bug fixes that will occur over the next 4 weeks.


Thanks,
David Cole

P.S. - as a nice summary of what we accomplished in the CMake 2.8.4 
release, see here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php
-- it currently lists 127 issues that we resolved: nice job, everybody!

(Many of those were specifically addressed because somebody brought it up 
in response to my similar email from just after 2.8.3... Don't be shy!)
