What should go into doxia 1.0-alpha-10?

Hi

As you might have seen from the commit messages, I have created branches 
in doxia and doxia-sitetools for future alpha releases. The branches 
were created from 1.0-alpha-9. On the branches the following stuff has 
been merged in from trunk:

- DOXIA-156
- DOXIA-161
- The dependency cleanup in the poms

Do we need anything else?

Gaah, nothing happens on this list for months, but just take three days 
of vacation and see what you miss... ;)

I don't think anything should go into alpha-10 except the things you 
need to make the plugins work, the list below looks fine for me.

Major API changes IMO can go anywhere except point/bug-fix versions of 
stable releases. I agree that we don't *have* to put everything into 
1.0. However, fact is that current doxia is really just useful for doing 
one thing: translate apt and fml into xhtml, which is the maven use 
case. Try to do anything else and you're sure to run into trouble. Just 
look at the issues people have eg with twiki and confluence modules.

My initial motivation for getting involved with doxia was to write a pdf 
plugin for m2. The current sandbox version is basically ready by itself, 
but it's unusable in practice because of serveral shortcomings of doxia 
in other places (DOXIA-148, DOXIA-183). Doxia promises to be a 
multi-format content generation framework, as long as it doesn't live up 
to this promise, it doesn't deserve a 1.0 release IMO.

So all you have to do to make a crappy product stable is sit back and 
wait long enough? ;)

Personally, I would go with the latter ;) But as I said, Doxia is all 
geared to work with Maven (the site-generating plugins), if that's all 
it is meant to do, then you can consider it stable. But I don't think 
that's all it is about.

I agree. There has to be a point where you need to let your baby go, but 
not before it's able to support itself... My expectation is that we have 
at most one beta and maybe some rc's before 1.0-final.

Re: What should go into doxia 1.0-alpha-10?

Posted by Carlos Sanchez <ca...@apache.org>.
I like your comments but let me argue a bit ;)

- what is what makes something "stable" ? dramatic API changes can go
in 2.0, 3.0,... they don't need to go before 1.0 (if not there would
never be any 1.0 final in any project)
- if something has been out for months/years and did not change
drastically, maybe should be considered stable

- being used Maven "stable" releases for 2+ years doesn't mean it's stable?
or
- if it's not stable maybe we shouldn't be using it in stable versions of Maven?

I just think there's a history of aversion to final releases that we
should get over

Doxia is not called alpha as an excuse for more API changes, it's called 
alpha because it *is* alpha. Just have a look at the code. Have a look 
at some open issues [eg DOXIA-38, DOXIA-63, DOXIA-78, DOXIA-99, 
DOXIA-104,...] (and while your at it, tell me how to fix them without 
affecting backwards compatibility :) ).

It has been mentioned and dicussed a few times on this list, that we 
intent to stabilize the API with the first beta release. It's at least 
half a year ago now that I drew up the roadmap for it, and basically all 
the bug-fix issues scheduled for beta-1 are potentially going to affect 
backwards compatibility. [1]

If people are not happy with that then let's put out alpha-10 as 
1.0-final and call beta-1 2.0-alpha-30-SNAPSHOT. I'd feel uneasy voting 
for the release, and my fear is that nothing will happen anymore after 
that, but fine, if that is what makes people happy.

I have tried to collect input on some of the issues on confluence [2] 
and on this list. It is discouraging to see how people are ignoring such 
discussions, but as soon as they realize that some changes are going to 
require some work on their part, they come up with prophetic 
trivialities ('backward-incompatible changes are baaad') and useless 
statements ('we've been using it so long', so what?).

Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to get some constructive input, 
because honestly, I would need it! :)

Re: What should go into doxia 1.0-alpha-10?

Posted by Carlos Sanchez <ca...@apache.org>.
I agree on getting the release out, but we can't just go around the
underlying issue every time. For me the fact that it's being used in
several places for long time should make it stable, for coherence with
other projects using doxia.

I don't really care all that much what the versions are called. Some 
time ago a discussion was held on this list where a versioning strategy 
was drawn up. Basically it said that we should switch from alpha to beta 
when the api is stable. So I just go with the flow...

What I'm interested in at the moment is getting a doxia release out that 
can be used in maven-site-plugin and maven-project-info-reports-plugin.

you guys realize that final versions of Maven have been using Doxia
for quite some time now and the fact that it's being called alpha as
an excuse to make more API changes, which will affect the future
development of maven, instead of evolving the API in a backwards
compatible way, it's not a good idea at all

Lukas has continued work on trunk for beta-1 which includes changes to 
the api. These changes will *not* be in the doxia release that I plan do 
shortly. This release, dubbed alpha-10, is a bug-fix release for 
alpha-9. Alpha-9 has some bugs that makes it unusable for the site- and 
project-info-reports-plugin.

So the plan is to do a quick alpha-10 of doxia followed by releases of 
site-plugin and project-info-reports-plugin.

We have several major issues before releasing 1.0, like logging or xsd/dtd.
FYI Lukas improved the sink api to support comments.

Why don't you just release 1.0, or are there changes to the APIs you  
want to make? I know that Vincent wanted to add some things but I  
don't understand making branches from the alphas.

I haven't been following Doxia closely, but I don't understand
branchign for 'future alpha releases'.  Branching for 1.0 makes sense
