Declare Tiles 2.1.0 as Alpha?
Hi all
Yesterday and today I committed a large change in tiles-core. In particular:
* TilesContextFactory has been splitted into
TilesApplicationContextFactory and TilesRequestContextFactory;
* The TilesApplicationContext now s created before TilesContainer creation.
Since it is a major change to Tiles 2.1.0, I suppose that "beta"
quality is no longer correct.
I would like to change it to Alpha.
WDYT?
Antonio

I agree with this approach. The difference between alpha and beta is
very subtle anyway. Most projects would probably only make a
distinction between GA and "not" GA :-)

yeah, then i'd say just keep 2.1.0 as beta, and make sure to highlight
the change in the next release notes, so as not to surprise extension
developers badly.

not from a typical user perspective, only extension developers.

So, would this change likely break many applications built on 2.1.0?
If so, then yeah, such API instability warrants an Alpha designation.
Otherwise, if it would only break a few advanced uses, then i think
that can still legitimately be called beta.
