Project version in pom.xml in MINA trunk is stale

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

The pom file in MINA trunk:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/trunk/pom.xml

has the version 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT, yet 2.0.3 has already been released.

Normally the trunk version should be set to the next snapshot
revision, i.e. in this case 2.0.4-SNAPSHOT, and once 2.0.4 is
released, it would be updated to 2.0.5-SNAPSHOT.

Or am I missing something here?

Well, we consider the 2.0 branch has closed. We just work on bug fixes 
(ie, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4).

The next version will be 3.0, and it's present in its own branch.

There are historical reason : when Trustin left the project, we had to 
cope with the existing code, which was all but documented. It took us 
quite some time to get a 2.0 released, and many technical decisions 
taken back then weren't optimal. However, 2.0 is pretty stable now, and 
we would like to move on by recreating a wider community around the next 
version, and starting from what we learned while cleaning 2.0, we are 
building 3.0 piece by piece.

So, yeah, trunk is staled. But it's not a big deal. As soon as 3.0 is 
close to a preliminary working state, we will move it to trunk.
