From 0c59d496837b6e6d7a1d416ef12ece3c38c7af08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2022 08:23:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update the pre-release-candidate testing checklist. Removed 'try cmake 3.7 on Windows': I think that's not really necessary, because Windows doesn't have the concept of an old overall distro that makes it hard to upgrade a particular build tool. On the other hand, added a big pile of other things I'd like not to forget. --- CHECKLST.txt | 26 +++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHECKLST.txt b/CHECKLST.txt index a0611bec..3d618cbd 100644 --- a/CHECKLST.txt +++ b/CHECKLST.txt @@ -31,14 +31,26 @@ Things to do during the branch-stabilisation period: word XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE.
