Do We Need a 2.5.0-update2?

[Ryan Baxter <rb...@apache.org>]

Hi Everyone,

There are a couple of patches out there that are waiting to be applied
and checked in.  Before I go ahead and do that I am wondering if we
want to release a 2.5.0-update2 or do we just want to focus on 2.5.1?
Most of these are from Andreas, so Andreas if you need a release
fairly soon we can certainly do a 2.5.0-update2 release with some of
these fixes in it.

HI Andreas, welcome to Apache Shindig.

We could go about 2.5.1 which maintains backward compatible with
2.5.0-x releases in terms of APIs and response structure.

One of the biggest change is probably no PHP module in Shindig which
should be in 2.5.1 since we want to follow OpenSocial spec with
major.minor release numbering.

this is a good question actually, so let me explain a bit _why_ there a
quite a few patches coming in :)

I've recently started working in a company that provides a shindig-based
collaboration platform. We do have a quite sizable diff on top of
shindig 3.0.0-beta3, which I'm trying to reduce as much as possible, and
then rebase us to an official release.

The diff contains some application-specific logic that I'm moving out
using the existing extension points, but also a lot of generic fixes and
improvements that we would like to contribute.

For the foreseeable future however I know that I'll have to keep a local
version of shindig, so a "release" as such is not something we need
urgently in any way, and I'm prepared to follow changes on a development
branch :)
