Me, grubba an Nilsson enumerated the major 7.8 blockers yesterday. They are as far as we could determine:
[ ] not done [/] tentatively fixed [X] fixed
Owner Issue [ ] grubba Deprecated type should print warnings. [ ] grubba Implement #pragma to turn off deprecated warnings. [ ] zino Known crash on Windows. [ ] mast/zino New Windows build environment. [ ] per/marcus Performance regression --with-assembler. (per and marcus weren't present so item assigned without consent... per says memprotect() is responsible as far as -x benchmark goes.) [X] nilsson Running the test suite should not produce warnings. [ ] zino/mast Building external modules should work. [ ] nilsson Write ChangeLog. [ ] Deprecated type should be extracted to documentation. [ ] Documentation should transform from XML to HTML (broken) [X] nilsson Arg module should be fixed or removed.
Non-blockers:
[ ] jhs Build (SVG) graph from the -x benchmark results Pikefarm delivers to track development.
If you think you could help with any of the items please do. Especially the items that have no one assigned to them yet.
