Release Trac 1.3.1

[Ryan J Ollos]

This ticket is used to coordinate the finalization and testing of the next development-stable release of Trac, 1.3.1.

[Christian Boos]

I'd propose to release 1.3.1 "as is", in the same time frame as 1.2. That would provide a good basis for people wanting to use a "modernized" 1.2 for Python 2.7, with no legacy code (#11901), yet without any of the more "drastic" changes to come (#12130, Jinja2 templates).

[Ryan J Ollos]

I'm hoping to release 1.2 next week, provided no significant issues are raised with rc1. The release takes less than 2 hours to create, so I could release 1.3.1 when the Jinja2 work is ready to be merged into trunk. I've put a due date of Nov 6th for 1.3.1 in the milestone, but no problem if it's sooner than that.

[Christian Boos]

I've uploaded the 1.3.1rc1 packages just now (TracDownload@189#LatestDevRelease). Please give me some feedback, it's been a while and I may have forgotten something… If everything is fine, I'll continue with the real 1.3.1.

[Ryan J Ollos]

The packages look good to me. I tested the whl, tar.gz and zip on OSX.

[Christian Boos]

Thanks for testing.

I just repackaged the 1.3.1 release at the same revision r15269, without the rc1 tag and with some changes to the TracChangeLog page (see r15278).

So the latest changes from trunk [15269:15277] are not in 1.3.1, because I wanted to stay consistent with the .rc and didn't want to re-test everything. No worries, 1.3.2 should come soon ;-)

r15277 looks very useful! I will use the new make commands today while working on #12578.

make release-env could be useful for creating a virtual environment with the dependencies (TracDev/ReleaseChecklist#Prerequisites).

I always do these steps:

$ virtualenv pve-release
$ . pve-release/bin/activate
$ pip install -U setuptools pip wheel virtualenv
$ pip install setuptools-svn setuptools-subversion babel genshi

After [15280], clean target is unable to work.

$ make clean
find . -name \*.py[co] -exec rm {} \;
make: *** No rule to make target `clean-figleaf', needed by `clean'.  Stop.

Replying to Jun Omae:

After [15280], clean target is unable to work.

Oops, thanks for the heads-up! Fixed in r15284 and merged up.
