MINI FREEZE:
|
|
|
|
Status: ON
|
|
|
|
What is this:
|
|
|
|
We will have lots more of these during e17 devel for serveral reasons. A mini
|
|
freeze is a call to STOP adding new features and funkiness. It means people
|
|
need to stop and go BACK over their code and fix FIXME's. All those bits of
|
|
code where things are string together with sticky tape and chewing gum need
|
|
to be fixed PROPERLY. This may mean pooling code into a common subsystem
|
|
(this is not a new feature. it is fixing loose ends with design). This may
|
|
mean adding api calls to make implementation cleaner or remove hacks. it may
|
|
mean more debugging tools in things like e_object and more checks for sanity.
|
|
|
|
This means testing stuff so it doesnt crash. or make things unusable or leak
|
|
memory. check leaks (use valgrind or whatever tools) to check for leaks, and
|
|
for stability issues. double check you return the correct values from
|
|
functions or use return values. Check callbacks. Compile with -W -Wall to
|
|
help find obvious bugs waiting to happen. Modules need to clean up on
|
|
shutdown. Code needs to use the appropriate subsystem that is available for
|
|
what it wants OR a subsystem needs writing if it will be a shared/common
|
|
feature.
|
|
|
|
This issues list must be brought to 0 size before E17 features can move
|
|
further.
|
|
|
|
Current freeze issues are:
|
|
|
|
ISSUES:
|
|
|
|
* virtual desktops need fixing to work with zones properly
|
|
* all modules need to respect zones
|
|
* dropshadow is not optimal and has extreme edge-case bugs
|
|
* e_apps polling/updates is broken
|
|
* objects need object types to check the right obj type is passed
|
|
* border show/hide needs to show from top down and hide from bottom up
|
|
* restart loses window properties (stickyness)
|
|
* restart loses zone and container info
|
|
* virtual desktops need an overhaul. hacked int waay too quickly.
