Re: [plt-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v4.2.1 -- Pinging Sam

So, of course, I had a big demo today and, you guessed it, DrScheme wouldn't load. I had already rolled back to 4.1.5 because this code doesn't run under 4.2 (or 4.2.1) - we're tracking that down. I reloaded PLT Scheme, etc., but that didn't work. Eventually, I looked here and saw the problem. Not being clever enough to just change the date on my laptop, I downloaded 4.1 and ran the demo under it - which meant loading all my PLaneT packages, etc. But, the demo was successful in the end.

Anyway, I was wondering if we could get a list of all the developer's birthdays and significant holidays - Easter (obviously it has to have an Easter egg or what would be the point), Thanksgiving, Texas Independence Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, etc - so we can schedule demos around them.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Eli.

DrScheme is broken today - it doesn't start up. (4.1.5 and 4.2 are also
broken the same way.)  I assume it's because of Eli's birthday?  (If
that's the case: Happy Birthday, Eli!)

eta[59] "/Volumes/PLT Scheme v4.2.0.900/PLT Scheme v4.2.0.900"/bin/drscheme
draw-bitmap in dc<%>: expected argument of type <bitmap% object>; given #f

 === context ===
/Volumes/PLT Scheme v4.2.0.900/PLT Scheme v4.2.0.900/collects/drscheme/private/drscheme-normal.ss:208:15

The reason is that the code that is conditionalized on (eb-bday?) in
drscheme-normal.ss makes the splash code want to access the splash
bitmap, but that bitmap isn't set until the call to `start-splash',
which comes only after it.  This appears to be fixed in the trunk, but I
don't see offhand by what revision, so I don't know if it's already in
the release code.
