Status of Dylan 9.0.4

Status of Dylan 9.0.4

[Adam Hughes]

Hi there,

I'm sorry this is a very dull question, and I feel I should be able to find the information elsewhere, but my google-fu has failed.  Please tell me if there is a better place to ask.

At https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads it seems that the latest Dylan release is 1.4.3.

However, https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases implies that 1.4.4 is the latest shipping version.

I've checked the last few months of this mailing list in the archive, and I've not found an announcement for 1.4.4 (1.4.3 was announced 4th April 2014).

With my limited understanding, https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v1.4_Status and https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW20_-_2014-05-12_-_Dylan_1.4.4 seem to say that everything is OK.

It there any problem with 1.4.4 that is delaying the announcement?  (Subtext: is there anything I can do to help?)

Thanks,

Adam

I'm sure someone else will give a more helpful reply, but there is a 
dylan-9.0.4 tag in the Poky repo created by Elizabeth on 5/14.

I agree that the mail archives don't show an obvious announcement though.

Let me clear this up a bit. We had begun to spin a 1.4.4. It went
through QA and we were preparing to release it when a whole bunch of
CVEs came out against OpenSSL.

Instead of releasing with known security issues, we decided to hold
off, kill 1.4.4, get 1.6.1 and 1.5.3 out first and then revisit what
will now be 1.4.5.

So, yes. We have a tag for it but never (fortunately) officially released it.
