Esteban’s list of blocking issues for release Pharo 6.0 (updated to May 08)

EstebanLM
Hello,

This are the things I believe still needs to be solved to be able to release Pharo 6.0:

PENDING:
- image: iceberg hit the image (dev-0.4 is ready to enter)
- remove all test regressions
- NEW: pharovm is crashing on 64bits
FIXED: (none)
POSPOSED: iceberg to use libgit2 0.25.1 (needed to compile it in 64bits, but not mandatory)

Release checklist:
====
- Prepare release notes
Image:
- add welcome browser (ONGOING)
- generate PharoV60.sources (ONGOING)
- move SystemVersion
- prepare new ScriptLoader70 package (in theory, this will not needed anymore but better to have it as a backup :P)
VM:
- stable for 6.0 release (DONE)
WebSite:
- Update index
- Update download page
Infrastructure:
- ZeroConf: Open new 7.0 development (ONGOING)
- SmalltalkCI: Open new 7.0 development (ONGOING)
- Create platform stable versions
- Jenkins: move all CI projects to Pharo 7.0 (ONGOING)
Pub:
- announce post
- announce mail
- post to YC, Reddit

I’m targeting this week for release. But you know how it is… it will happen most probably next monday ;)
Also, I don’t know what the problem with 64bits crashing is, I’m just starting to explore there… that can be a detail or a huge problem, and dince 64bits is “THE” important part of this release, is blocking enough to delay release.
