We have determined that a BETA release should happen before an RC. This issue will track the progress of the BETA. Does anyone know of an issue that prevents a BETA release?

I am not sure I understand correctly. Does this list report the issue we should fix before a beta release is released?
What is exactly the plan to go from the actual code, to the first beta release?

Just the strict minimum, something that works just like it used to work before on Drupal5
minimum features, just so that people can install the module and will upgrade in a few months when you'll have time to finish it.
It's just because people would like to have something clear to download and install for D6. At the moment it's pure confusion.

Yes, it should list those issue we feel important to fix before creating a BETA release. It gives reasons why a BETA hasn't occurred.

What is exactly the plan to go from the actual code, to the first beta release?

My goal would be a point in time when there is confirmation that the module is working (I know this is relative) and hard to measure. But once the code proves to provide a sitemap.xml without giving issue we should strike a BETA release.

where can i find the beta version to test?

There isn't a beta release, yet. The reason of having this report is to list the issue that needs to be resolved, before to create a beta release.

@Kiam, earnie: I feel good with tagging a DRUPAL-6--1-0-BETA1 release.

@jwells: We're almost there, but no release is official yet.

Congratulations! Beta 1 works like a charm.

My site have only 192 nodes, though. I'll try it on a bigger site later.

Are you planning another beta or going straight to RC?

It's more probably there will be more beta versions, before a release candidate.

Kiam, what do you think about releasing a DRUPAL-6--1-0-BETA2 now that we have the major bugs in beta1 fixed?

now that we have the major bugs in beta1 fixed

In my test site, the cache files are created, but they contain nothing, visiting http://localhost/dr6/sitemap.xml I only obtain a white screen, which is not even an empty sitemap.
The answer is that it's not time for a beta2 version because the problem is far from be resolved.

If anybody is able to find the reason it doesn't work, I will be glad if he shares his knowledge with me. :-)
