Thanks for organizing the issues. I will finish build related issues for Windows first, then go through the rest and see what is or can be fixed for 2.3.15.

[devernay]

@rodlie do you have some time to go over the "to be checked" or "check on windows" issues in this list and close those that are fixed? We should be able to release 2.3.15

[rodlie]

Sure, I'm free all day and tomorrow.

[devernay]

@rodlie the two remaining issues concern openfx-arena, can you check if there's an easy fix?

[rodlie]

Will finish https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/issues/476 (I think I forgot to fix one of the plugins), it's getting late here (02:30), but I will try to fix it before I fall a sleep :)

A bit unsure about https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/issues/482 yet (see last comment).

[devernay]

OK, let's try to tag the release on Sunday. I never tested the updated build scripts on releases, so there may be a few hiccups.

[rodlie]

That sounds good. I have all weekend free for Natron if needed.

[devernay]

I just need to update the Natron doc before tagging the release.

[rodlie]

ok.

[rodlie]

I think https://github.com/NatronGitHub/Natron/blob/RB-2.3/tools/jenkins/build-natron.sh#L69 should be sed 's#tags/v##;' | cut -c1-3 or sed 's#tags/##;' | cut -c2-4

[devernay]

yes, fixed!

[rodlie]

Just finished a test (release) build on Windows, looks good. Splashscreen is ok, about section ok, terminal output ok, setup and installation ok.
