Already on it with partial article. Will have a rough draft ready by tomorrow for anyone to review and add to it and I'd like it published on Thursday after we confirm Coolo's expected publish date for the iso's. Bryen

Hi,

The show stoppers we had this morning are all fixed, so in good hope that the current checkin round will magically make everything perfect, I raised the version to M5, so we can publish it tomorrow.

As promised, here's my first draft: http://ietherpad.com/Milestone5 A couple of things: - I'd like it if someone can add some features and updates we can expect in this milestone. There's a section for bullet listing these items. - I see that Milestone 4 apparently never got released? If so, should we add a paragraph explaining why we skipped? - After everyone has critiqued this article, I will set it to be published *after* we see that Milestone 5 has been released and hopefully the Annoying Bugs wiki page has been updated.

You can copy some info from my last articles: http://jaegerandi.blogspot.com/ http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/a_jaeger/

- I see that Milestone 4 apparently never got released? If so, should we add a paragraph explaining why we skipped?

You might want to add something like Note that the Milestone 4 was not really released due to vacation time and we decided to make a soft release (just update via zypper dup) instead of a full release.

Andreas, If I didn't want to wait for Milestone 5, what would you recommend would be simplest to trial M4? Download M3 and do a zypper dup? Or, download sources? I assume from what I've been reading the main thing missing from M4 is mostly documentation, the actual code objectives for M4 has been largely met. Thx, Tony On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 12:41 AM, Andreas Jaeger wrote:

zypper dup will get you to the current version - which today is milestone 5.

I assume from what I've been reading the main thing missing from M4 is mostly documentation, the actual code objectives for M4 has been largely met.

Thx. Looks like the Milestone 5 32-bit ISO is available immediately, am downloading it now. Looks like the 64-bit ISO is not available for now, also the openSUSE roadmap page (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap) hasn't been updated (am reluctant to update the roadmap myself since I'm not central to how the distro is progressing) Tony On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 2:03 AM, Andreas Jaeger wrote:
