Hello,
I would like to thank all who share their thought about releasing new version of tesseract [1]. I took my time and I decided we should make release at the middle October 2018 (14-21...).
This should means that no new features will be applied to current code. There is not time for testings. Anyway please feel free to send your patch/PR - it will included after 4.0 release.
There are several ways, how people can contribute to this process:
- Developers: go through open issues, try to fix it. Please make a comment when you start do deal with issue, so we can use our capacity efficiently.
- Packagers: please test if building and packaging process is working fine. If something is broken, try to fix&submit it fast. Please give a note to forum or me directly, where users can find your "product", so we can put information about supported systems to release notes.
- "Wrappers": if you are producing wrapper for tesseract, please give a note to forum or me directly if you support tesseract 4: I would like to promote your work.
- "No code" developers:
- check open issues, test it with the latest code if it still valid report, prepare test case if missing, report duplicates, suggest label etc.
- Improve documentation, release notes, man pages etc...
- English native speaker: check documentation, release notes etc.
Thanks to all who help us to get to this point. I really appreciate all ways of support.
