Activity Digest: May 2016
This is an ongoing series of activity reports, published monthly, to highlight activity in our projects. Here is what happened in May 2016. This is not a complete list of all activity, just work that results in a non-trivial change. For a full list, see the git history of all the projects.
Summary
The main focus for May is getting Timewarrior ready for an alpha release. The purpose of an alpha release is to gather feedback that guides the subsequent release. Timewarrior is a new project that introduces new concepts. This new functionality needs to be refined before a beta release.
The Timewarrior bug tracker is now open for business.
Additionally, the libshared library is being improved.
This is a Git submodule that nearly all the projects share, and helps with code reuse.
Most importantly, fixing bugs in libshared will fix bugs in all projects, without a lot of manual patching.
