Next release

["Shawn C. Dodd" <sd...@agea.com>]

Hey y'all,

I have a schedule question.  When is the next release?  I'd like to submit a
few small changes for your consideration before the next release, but I'm
busy with work right now.  It would help me plan my time if I knew
approximately when you were planning to ship the next revision.

If the answer is "I don't know," that's fine, too.


Thanks,

Shawn

Yes, I also think that incompatible API changes must be avoided at all
costs.
Of course, if it turns out there's something really broken, it has to be
changed (that happened some time ago with the transaction related API, and
more recently with the split of the WebDAV client library).

No problem.

I'll try and get the important change to you by Saturday.

Not to start a long discussion, but what's the policy with respect to
changing interfaces after they're published?  I tend to lean towards the
"interfaces are immutable, after they're published they may not be changed"
policy.

But I realize the definition of "published" is different for Open Source
software.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to clean up the interface before it got exposed to
the public.

I was planning to release 1.0.10 one or two weeks ago, but it obviously got
delayed.

If I had to give a new date, I would say either this weekend or one week
later.
Does it give you enough time to submit your changes ?
