Just because it is winter down here and I'm freezing my butt off doesn't
mean I am any less busy. :-(

I agree we should just get the 3.2.10 release out. We are still going
to have to do the review for 3.3 anyway because some of the internal
structural changes I had to make in some areas to address some
issues have been significant.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting you were any less busy - just that folks in the
northern hemisphere may well choose to frolic in the summer sun rather
that hack away at mod_python in their spare time.

Just want some verification because I haven't seen anything
official looking....

Is 3.2.9 now considered a bad release because of its memory
leaks, and thus will never be released? Hence 3.2.10 will be
the next hopeful stable release after 3.2.8?

It's not so much that it's a bad release, but rather it didn't make
sense to officially release 3.2.9 and then turn around and release
3.2.10 a week later. The leak that will be fixed in 3.2.10 is not new in
3.2.9, only newly discovered.

Basically yes, but if you are already using 3.2.9 there is no harm
specific harm.

At any rate, I'll roll a 3.2.10 tarball for testing by the list tonight.

Best laid plans and all that...

For 3.2.9 I called for 2 rounds of testing: one for the release
candidate and one for the final tarball. Do folks here feel that is
necessary for 3.2.10 or should I just jump right to the 3.2.10 final?
That tarball would still be subject to a vote on this list before an
official release. Cutting out the first step will save a few days.

I'm +1 on going for 3.2.10.

You in Canada probably have it easier - I think we hit 96F/35C at some
point today or yesterday (I wouldn't know I'm in the office which has AC
sunrise to sunset, I just listen to the news), and unfortunately (or not)
due to work pressures I have no time for anything - no frolicking for me
this summer :-(

I think what you term it doesn't matter - if it's voted down, it will be
voted down, be it 3.2.10 RC or 3.2.10 Final (we'll just have to make a
3.2.11 then).

So just go for it :-)

Let's call that one the Spinal Tap version.
