Hey Eddie,

I could volunteer by creating the branch and backing out the changes,
if that would help.

Are there other release tasks that you think some of us other folks in
the dev community should/could be doing?

Kind regards,
Carlin

  #1 wouldn't be a lot of work and is basically just a couple of
changes to revert.  AFAICT, that's my task unless someone else wants
to volunteer.  :)

  The problem with shipping an incomplete feature is exposing
unfinished and unfrozen APIs.  This means that the APIs could change
in the future potentially breaking applications that used such
features, and this doesn't seem desirable.

  Plus, I tend to believe that patch releases should be as stable as
possible to ensure continuity from a previously released version.

  My $0.02.

Eddie

Re: Question about the next release...

How much work would there be in option #1?
Naturally it would be cleaner than option #2 but I agree with Carlin that
either option would work.
Finishing the partial data set support could then be finished when you have
time rather than rushing.
Would the impact of shipping incomplete data set support be disagreeable to
the rest of the community?
It would be useful to understand what will the ramifications of shipping
this incomplete feature might be.

Re: Question about the next release...

Hey Eddie,

Are you thinking there would be some API changes in what you have for
the datagrid partial data set support to make it fully baked or just
some clean up? I'm not a binding vote but I'd be good with either 1 or
2 (if there's nothing drastic in API changes for data set support).

Re: Question about the next release...

  Hm -- a new release would be great except...

  I've started new feature work in trunk/ for supporting partial data
sets; this work isn't baked / frozen yet.  Some options:

#1) branch, remove the partial data set support, and ship 1.0.2
#2) ship partial data set support as-is in 1.0.2
#3) finish partial data set support and then ship 1.0.2

  Thoughts?

Eddie
