Bug Parade Countdown: The ice is coming, but not here yet

[Justin Obara]

Here's what I think our plan should be for today.

1) Get in any commits and finish off all blockers

2) Code Review, starting with framework changes

3) Perform any codebase wide general tasks (e.g. removing DOS  line endings)

4) Perform any other general tasks

5) Start testing where possible.

Once all the code is in, and the framework reviews and codebase wide general tasks are done, we should be able to start testing components that have  no more changes left. Meaning there will still be code review and some general tasks for  some components, but the ones that are ready for testing we should get a start on.

Note that the above don't necessarily have to happen in that order, but that is the priority. For example, 3) can probably happen at any time before 5).

I haven't yet committed this code, but I expect to have it all working and in trunk tomorrow morning. My plan is to wire this up to the Uploader via IoC, ensuring that only users who include a special "Uploader 1.3 compatibility" file will have their options transformed in this way.

Given the amount of review left to do, I expect we'll have to delay the release by a day to get it all done before we start QA testing. We could start on testing without finishing code reviews, but I'm hesitant to do so in case any non-trivial code changes emerge from the review process. What do you think?
