Comment 7 for bug 497882

After chatting with charles on #transmission, we're going to wait for the 1.90 release, which should happen before FF now:

<charles> one of the popular trackers currently has a ban on 1.8x because they don't like some of its behavior. Yesterday I sent them a test build from trunk to see if it's resolved
<charles> I'm pretty sure it's http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2854
<chrisccoulson> charles - thanks, i wasn't aware of that
<charles> so the Transmission developers were wondering, let's say yesterday's trunk build passes the sniff test and gets unbanned
<charles> at that point we would need to decide what to do for the next release
<charles> it might be less risky to just jump to 1.90 and put 1.8x in the past
<chrisccoulson> yeah, possibly. there are a lot of commits there
<charles> also we've discussed what we want to put on the table for 1.90. after the massive birthing pains of the 140-ticket 1.80, nobody voted for a long list of features in 1.90.
<charles> if we get word back from that tracker that the test app works, my vote would be to freeze the code base for 1.90
<charles> chrisccoulson: if 10.04's freeze is 1.5 weeks away, that makes it an even clearer choice IMO
<chrisccoulson> charles - yeah, that sounds good to me
