What on earth is this a "fix"? It doesn't fix anything. The strings
touched where completely correct, and the only thing changed is
punctuation and capitalization. Furthermore, from my point of view the
punctuation changed was absolutely correct, thus there wasn't even a
need to change it -- the change made it worse.

Why is the trailing dot removed here? This is a (rather short)
statement, so it should end with a punctuation character, i.e. a dot.

However, if such kind of messages should not end with a dot, then
please make it actually consistent. For example, there is
    emit logItem(tr("Download error: received HTTP error %1.")
which should, following the change, also not end with a dot. There are
also other log messages that (still) end with a dot. However, this
wasn't changed by this commit. Nevertheless, if we want log messages
to not end with a dot we need to agree upon it. Which hasn't happened
up to now.

Re: I suggest we postpone release 14 days

We're on the best way to be a month late. I'd say if we exceed this 
month we should just skip 3.5 (name the next release 3.5), since 3.6 
wants to be released too and I guess we want to meet the "deadline" for 
that one, otherwise there would only be 2 month between 3.5 and 3.6.

Although if we keep the current cycle we're gonna have the same problems 
at this year's christmas. Maybe delaying the schedule by a month or so 
for all subsequent releases or changing the number if releases per year 
would be a good idea. (/me'd still prefers 3 per year).

It seems quite a few people are not away (or have forgotten) which 
changes you're refering too. One of them is probably the viewportmanager 
api change, but I'm not sure if any of the remaining bugs is a real 
release blocker.

If we decide on starting the release cycle soon, I'd like to propose 
that (since we have no real testing system yet) we have 2 RC builds, 1 
for the freeze phase and one for the branch phase. Getting testers in 
the official test builds forum is probably the best we can get at this 
point.

Best regards.

We could shift release to the end of the month to avoid that and start
freeze in 10 days.

The question of release cycle could still be discussed until end of
april.

Looking at http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/MajorChanges I think we can go
for 3 releases a year and spend less time on releasing process and more
time on rockboxing.

Help getting frotz plugin to work on lowmem targets

I've just about completed my port of the frotz Z-Machine interpreter to
Rockbox (FS#10370) but currently it does not build for the lower memory
targets as it is too big. (70KB or so on ipodvideo). It could be made
into an overlay like goban/chessbox/etc however I don't really
understand the makefile magic that makes this work and I don't have any
of these targets to test on. Would anyone be willing to lend a hand with
this.. make the appropriate changes and test them on a lowmem target? It
should be able to run on anything with a bitmap LCD once this is done.

Thanks in advance,

Whenever you get this working, could you document/describe what you've done?

I'm interested in this as it needs to be done for the Lua plugin too.

Thanks,

Alas -Os saves only 2.5KB on ARM and probably comparable on other
platforms. The Frotz implementation is just *really big*. It's quite a
complex virtual machine. :)
