What you have proposed is nearly a 3 month beta cycle for ant. That is kind of long. maybe it is a good length, maybe a bad one. Were we to get back to 6 month release cycles we would be in beta release mode more than 50% of the time unless we compressed the release schedule again. > > Anyway, send in your votes for: > > 1. Proposal to move towards releasing Ant 1.5 (+1) +1 > 2. Proposed timeline (+1) +1 I dont have any objections to the timeline per se, but worry if it is setting long term expectations about beta cycle durations. One q: when are we feature frozen?
