Hello all,
I just tagged the 0.1.0 version to the /tags/loschmidt/0.1.0 directory.
(loschmidt being the “combined” release of avogadro+libavogadro). These
will need to be split up in the future.
Please, take this week to stop adding features (if you have ideas post
them to the wiki) and go back and see what you can do for documentation.
I know we need some class documentation updated and we need to add a few
files. (ie. INSTALL / README / AUTHORS etc etc.) I’ll try to add a few
of these too and we can copy them back to trunk eventually. Also, we
need to add somewhere in the README that some icons are part of the
Crystal Clear iconset by everaldo.com or whatever. More I’m making note
for myself.
Any bug fixes should also be added back into trunk, please check out the
subversion book on how to merge;
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html
It will probably be after next weekend that we release. In the meantime
I believe Geoff is going to work on building the package and all that
stuff. If you have mac, please try to work on some of that stuff too.
I know one thing that would be very helpful is if someone knows / can
make a binary depends package for QT. I would like to somehow have a
package that installs just what we need to run so it’s one-click
install. Having to refer someone to a 45meg QT download / install is,
to me, something that’s going to turn mac users off. Also, anything
that you can see as a MAJOR annoyance lets try to fix.
Also, look at files which you think you contributed a major portion of
the code and add your name to the copyright. I did the best job i could
of marking authors correctly but it’s hard. Also, remove your name if
you know you didn’t do anything besides a few bug fixes here and there.
I mean, Benoit made a good point that IF legal things were to happen,
it’s going to be somewhat hard to handle if we have authors who we can’t
contact anymore. I would say a good mark would be 10% - 25% of a
portion of the code or a substantial header contribution.
Another email coming on looking ahead.

Please, take this week to stop adding features (if you have ideas post
them to the wiki) and go back and see what you can do for
documentation.
I know we need some class documentation updated and we need to add
a few
files. (ie. INSTALL / README / AUTHORS etc etc.) I’ll try to add
a few
of these too and we can copy them back to trunk eventually.
Much of the documentation should go in the wiki too. Personally, I
think we (and here I really mean “me”) should do some to clean up the
wiki and make it presentable. Hopefully we’ll get interest and
feedback. So it would be good to have some general tutorials started
for using the different tools particularly.
I have volunteered to cook up the Mac universal binaries. That’s
about it. Donald, are you going to spin some Windows installers?
Also, look at files which you think you contributed a major portion of
the code and add your name to the copyright.
Particularly be sure to check the date. I’m guilty myself, but many
of the files still said 2006. Oops.
Cheers,
-Geoff
P.S. I think everyone should be really proud of this beta – it’s in
great shape already.

Yes i will.

Yeah i corrected many of those already.

Also, Geoff, those past two commits are probably worth updating in the
tag and could be merged back into trunk after release.
