OK, I've extracted the majority of changes from the changelog. Anyone care to look through my work to see if i've missed anything? After that, what's next in getting a new release out the door?
Bill
I'm going to backport my changes wrt autodoc and make install/export. Peter Bortas is looking into having a Windows build. We'll make some tests with exporting and installing. We'll look though the Xenofarm reports. Then we make a decision of specific action points that needs to be done at the end of the week. If none, we'll release what we have.
random crazy idea: what about making protected be an alias to static? it would not break any code, but if the change from static to protected is ever completed to say pike 8.4, by then anyone still using 7.6 will have at least upgraded to this release of it.
greetings, martin.
There was a suggestion on the list lately to use "shared" for the semantic that is called "static" in most other languages. That's not too bad imo.
right, i agree. in the long run i'd still want to phase out static and make protected the prefered term for its function, simply because static has so many different meanings: http://cpptips.hyperformix.com/cpptips/static_keyword (note the suggestion at the bottom :-)
