Making the Synapse configuration language XML Schema compliant
Folks,
Since we are planning to go for a 2.0 release of Synapse directly, I am
planning to make some changes to the Synapse Configuration Language which
will make it XML Schema compliant and is planing to write a XML Schema for
the Synapse Configuration Language.
This will be much more helpful when it comes to editing the configurations
using an XML editor or for doing configuration validations.
We will make sure to give proper migration tool to migrate 1.x
configurations into 2.x
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ruwan

I think we have a set of people ready to contribute to the release, and the
action items will be distributed among the people who are willing to involve
in this. Lets see how it goes.
Thanks,
Ruwan

Won’t this take a rather long time to realize and test? I’m still thinking about the option to release a 1.3 rather shortly before moving on to larger changes.
My estimates says that it will take at least a month, but if we are to do a 1.3 that will also take at least 2 weeks. :-(
If we are just talking about two weeks difference, I also see no benefit in doing a 1.3 release in advance. For sure the preparation of a 1.3 release also takes time and effort.
