[DISCUSS] 1.4 release labels
Hi all,
I know the dust hasn't settled at all, but... :-)
I think we should change the release labels for 1.4, as we have briefly
talked about earlier. I agree with whoever said it out loud (igor/johan?)
that we should have milestone releases instead. So I suggest we label our
releases like this:
1.4.0-M1
1.4.0-M2
1.4.0-Mn
...
1.4.0-RC1
1.4.0-RCn
...
1.4.0
So, no alpha or beta releases. They signal something different than what we
actually try to do. Our beta releases have never (I only talk about
1.3which is the cycle I know about) been actual beta releases with the
amount
of new stuff (portlet support in beta4, anyone?) that entered all the time.
If we did milestone releases
Labelling them like that would also make it easier for me (us) to
communicate out what the big new things are in each milestone. I can get
more into my RM role and create eclipse-like wiki pages for each milestone
describing the new features. And it will make it easier to make the final
release note because it will be a concatenation of the milestone release
notes.
WDYT?
Frank

+1 on the milestone thing.
I think we should call it Wicket 6, just to annoy Howard. ;-p
Seriously, though, I'm sure I remember seeing something vaguely
official from Apache on this, but I can't find it on Google. :(
That said, several other Apache projects have remarkably similar
numbering conventions:
http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpareleasepolicy.html
http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/NextRelease
Which suggests that we should probably call it Wicket 2.0.0, unless we
want to make sure the generics support and everything else is actually
backwards-compatible, which seems improbable.
Regards,
Al
