Scala Meeting report, 2010-06-01

We are currently publishing a summary of each of the weekly meetings of the
Scala Core Team.

This information is made available as a service to the community. It is by
necessity rather brief and gives only a rough approximation of the main
points of discussions explored during each meeting; it should not be taken
as a source of reliable information, nor as a record of concrete or firm
decisions, nor as anything other than a record of a simple discussion.

The summary that follows is primarily intended for Scala contributors and
maintainers. If you are not a contributor to the Scala system, the
information below is unlikely to be very useful to you, and you might lack
some of the necessary background to make sense of all the discussion items.

We do not have enough people on the team to be able to write a more
complete record, and we might also not have the resources to discuss every
point in detail afterwards. Nevertheless, we hope that this record, cursory
as it is, is better than nothing.

Scala Meeting 2010-06-01

People attending the meeting: Phil, Hubert, Gilles, Alex, Ingo, Lukas,
Philipp, Miguel, Toni.

* Current work
- work on a .Net compatible version based on the IKVM port of the JDK
- general bug fixing

* 2.8.0
- JSON: patch for ticket #3248 involves an API change. Should it go in
now? No, we will wait until after the final.
- Disabled test for #1254 is still failing; we will look into that
before the final.
- Commits to trunk will no longer automatically be included in the
final; only commits explicitly propagated to the 2.8.x branch will appear.
- We have a few new tickets that may possibly be critical, but for the
most part we should be OK. We will check the status again next week.

* Eclipse Tickets
- The component "Eclipse Plugin" has been removed from Trac. If anyone
files Eclipse plugin tickets on our Trac by mistake, the ticket should now
be closed, asking them to re-file it on the new Scala IDE for Eclipse bug
tracker. We will add a notice on the Trac Wiki.
