Hey gang,
On the eve of CDT 4, I’m working on updating the web
site with all the info our community needs to get going, or at least as much as
I’ve done in previous releases, at least until our user docs get put up
on help.eclipse.org.
One thing I am gathering is the list of bugs marked “FIXED”
in 4.0. That made me wonder how that compares with previous releases. So,
starting with 1.2 when we actually starting using Target Milestones, here’s
the numbers I dug up.
CDT 1.2 – 218
CDT 2.0 – 518
CDT 2.1 – 329
CDT 3.0 – 761
CDT 3.1 – 224
CDT 4.0 – 1152
It’s a new record! Which I guess should be obvious
with the number of active committers we have going. But it’s definitely a
good sign of the improved quality we’re seeing in 4.0.
BTW, it also reminds me of how dark a time it was during 3.1
and why I’m so thankful for the rejuvenation of our community. I joke
that I was the only one working on it since there were a handful of others as
well, but this number shows it all…
