Minutes
BIRT 2.1.3 Development
No change in status. Still waiting for iText approval.
General Information
BIRT 2.1.3 is the third maintenance release in the BIRT 2.1 release series and is intended to be narrow in scope since the development team is concentrating on BIRT 2.2. The 2.1.3 release is focused on addressing critical bugs identified by the community.
The Development Plan for BIRT 2.1.3 is available on the Eclipse BIRT pages (http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/project_plan_R2_1_3.php).
For a list of bugs assigned to the release, refer to Bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=BIRT&target_milestone=2.1.3
BIRT 2.2 Development
Stable build <20070406-1624> was made available on Friday and is the candidate build for the BIRT 2.2 M6 release. PMC leads need to take a look at this build and respond if it is OK to release as the M6 build.
Next release is RC0, planned for May 18.
General Information
The next major release of BIRT is BIRT 2.2, scheduled for June 2007 as part of the Europa Simultaneous Release (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Europa_Simultaneous_Release).
The Development Plan for BIRT 2.2 is available on the Eclipse BIRT pages (http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/project_plan_R2_2_0.php). A number of BIRT Project Specifications (BPS) relating to BIRT 2.2 have been posted on the BIRT Wiki.
For a list of bugs assigned to the release, refer to Bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=BIRT&target_milestone=2.2.0
Windows Vista Support for BIRT 2.2
Windows Vista support is not currently planned for BIRT 2.2. However, the Platform team are planning to support Windows Vista and we need to research if we can support Vista for BIRT.
We plan to revisit this at next week's PMC call.
