[tahoe-dev] v1.5 status

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

Folks:

Not unexpectedly, my getting a day job and Brian going off on vacation
(or "gallivanting", as I prefer to call it) has slowed down
development of TahoeLAFS.  v1.5 is late!  I decided today that I
really need to punt certain things, starting with the Macintosh
packaging that I've been working on (tickets #762 and #763).

Looking at the rest of The RoadMap
(http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=1.5.0
), most of these can be bumped from v1.5 once we've properly
investigated the ones that *might* be critical dangers or regressions
from v1.4.1...

(Time passes as Zooko updates various tickets...)

Okay, I've bumped #566 (after doing something to improve the
situation), #691 (after doing something to improve it), #755.

That leaves #705 (thanks, Kevan!), #748 (needs to be investigated a
bit -- probably not critical and probably not a regression), #758
(should be easy to fix), #668 (ugh -- shall we punt this one?).

Regards,

Zooko
