[Gnash-dev] release criteria ?

[Rob Savoye]

Now that streaming video for a few popular sites works, we need to
establish what will be in the next release of Gnash. Ideally we can push
the next release out within the next month or so.

My short list for the release is:

1. Stabilize the video support so it works with Lulu.tv, youtube.com,
and myspace.
2. Fix the problem with the loader threads not going away when using the
plugin, which creates zombies.
3. Finish fixing the XML and XMLSocket classes.
4. Fix any nasty memory leaks.
5. Fix some of the performance problems with certain movies, like
paperwars.swf which eats up all the memory when it shouldn't be.
6. Update documentation for new features.
7. Get video working with AGG, fix invalidate regions bug with video.
8. Finish internationalization support.

Optional items are:

1. Finish the Cairo support.
2. Finish the Gstreamer support so ffmpeg isn't required.
3. Work on the debugger support.
4. Add info to the Flash specification that's now a separate document.

 We can add stuff to the list, but if we're not careful, the release
won't be out for several months. We can potentially leave things off the
list, but that could leave us with a less than satisfactory release.
