[bt-devel] Beta release plan

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Eeli,

quick reply...

Thanks for coordinating the work.

Right.
One thing we should take care of before is the automatic migration of
configuration data like the config, profiles and bookmarks. Caches and
indices do not need to be migrated.
I already suggested to you as a solution to use several fallback paths
when trying to open a config file for _reading_.
Also, we might think about using ~/.bibletime instead of ~/.kde4 for
portability. Functions for retrieving the relevant directories should
be put into directoryutil.cpp/h. What do you think?
IMO this should be completed before a beta release to make sure user
data will not get messed up.

Sure.

1.7.

The amount of work would justify a 2.0 even. ;)
