Release [was: Re: Congrats to Milinda]

[Tammo van Lessen <tv...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

there are still a few minor issues with the console, so I'd like to wait
until they are fixed. I'll open jiras for them tomorrow.

Regarding the releases: Do we have a roadmap how to proceed with the 1.x
branch? If not, what about creating one which indicates what releases we
plan for each branch and which feature we want to include targeting
which release. This document should not be carved in stone but rather
guideline, just to see what is a development branch and what is a
maintenance branch. At least for me this distinction got a bit blurred
with trunk and 1.x.

What do you think?

I agree. I think there are a lot of new features in trunk that need some
beta testing. Once it's been stabilized, the support for 1.x binary
models has turned out to be reliably working, we can probably shut down
the 1.x branch, right?


Cheers,
  Tammo

Agreed.

The way I see it, 1.x is almost in maintenance mode.   It still gets new
features but only those that do no impact stability and that are easily
ported to trunk.   Trunk was our playground for radically new features but
would now transition towards becoming stable.

Yes, I think development on 1.x would essentially stop.  Only critical
bug-fixes would be applied for the benefit of those running 1.x for
production.
