Intent to release 1.9.1

[Ariya Hidayat]

Hi folks,

Long overdue, I'd like to roll out 1.9.1 since it contains some
important fixes (backported from master). You can see the changes at
https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/compare/1.9.0...1.9.

Unfortunately, running the unit tests reveal some failures there. It
could be just flaky behavior, it could be also real regressions.

I plan to spend the weekend trying to isolate the issues. However, if
someone beats me to it, I'd be a happy man. In any cases, all kind of
help is appreciated.

Thank you!


Best regards,

For what it's worth, a fresh PhantomJS compiled from the 1.9 branch
doesn't break the CasperJS build.

Hope it helps

Thanks Nicolas, that's very useful indeed.

Another good news: the test failures are just flakiness and I've since
fixed them. Just a few more failures to go before we're cleared for a
release.

The remaining tests flakiness is something I won't bother fixing now.
Perhaps once we have a brand-new and much more solid setup for the
test suite, we shall revisit that again.

I'll likely tag 1.9.1 tomorrow unless there's a last-minute issue.
