It has been mentioned repeatedly in the past that AMQ was going to "release early and release often." Frankly, the release schedule (or lack thereof) is terrible. All of the releases have gone out with relatively major bugs. That's fine, but once they're found, they should be gathered into a bugfix release and... released. I know I'm not the only one who was stuck on a version because it worked better than the next, even though it had bugs, but the next had worse/other problems to find and figure out. Some people are on 4.0.1 and going to 4.1.0 (also with major bugs like AMQ-1078 and Kaha being useless) is even a tough sell. Now we should go to 4.2 snapshots? What about 4.1.1? Is it going to be in limbo for another few months?
I'm not paying for AMQ, so I can't really complain about it working or not. However, your release process/schedule still sucks. Take some tips from Hibernate or Spring. -- Christopher G. Stach II
