[yt-dev] today's PR review hangout and 3.2 release udpate

[Britton Smith]

Hi everyone,

We had our second weekly PR review hangout today and I wanted to draw your
attention to a few things.  Firstly, thanks once again to Hilary for
organizing this.  The streak is at 2, a record for the yt project.
Secondly, while it has only been two weeks, I think that this is working
spectacularly.  Every PR not listed as a work in progress received
attention with many being accepted and the rest getting comments on what
needs to happen to get them accepted.  Way to go, everyone!

In other big news, the enormous volume render refactor PR has been pulled
into the main yt repository and will live under a separate head bookmarked
"experimental" until it is totally ready for primetime.  This should make
development move forward more smoothly as it will allow developers to issue
PRs directly to yt instead of to Sam Skillman's fork, which was the origin
of the original PR.  If you'd like to try it out, just "hg up experimental"
and you're there.  Kudos to everyone making that happen.

Finally, we turn to our top story this evening.  We are on track for
releasing yt-3.2 next Friday, July 24.  I had originally suggested we do
this tomorrow, but we need a cooling off period after all the PRs that were
accepted today.  So, on that note, as of right now, we are calling a freeze
on accepting PRs that contain new features until after 3.2 has been
released.  Bugfix PRs may still be pulled in before that, provided they are
not overly complicated.

So there you have it.  Thanks, everyone!  For what?  For everything!

Britton
