[josm-dev] New tested version

[Dirk Stöcker]

Hello,

I made 1981 new tested.

This means when no BIG issues pop up next few days then the next round for 
bigger changes is open the next two weeks and afterwards two weeks 
finetuning, so that we may have next release mid of September.

I think this release has the largest revision difference (1981-1788) and 
nearly nothing is in the news section. Most of the changes are not visible 
to users, but are probably very important for josm's future.

As long as we have such valuable contributors as Karl and Jiri (thanks to 
both of you and all the others) I think we should try to keep the 2+2 week 
release schedule outlined above.

One note: Althought especially Karl, Jiri and Dieter Mücke have been very 
active fixing bug reports we still have a growing number of these. At the 
moment we have 203 defects and a total of 374 entries. About 2-3 months 
ago we had 130 defects which means a big growth.

I know it is always more fun to develop fancy new stuff (and Karl's stuff 
are big improvements for josm), but keeping the bugs low is also 
important. So I would be happy if some more people keep an eye on the bug 
tracker and fix this or that bug sometimes. Also helping to get reports 
reproducable or add valuable information sometimes would be a good idea. 
We have some long standing bugs which have lots of duplicates and seem to 
be hard to track down at all.

Ciao
