I think there is broad agreement on a 1.5.2 release pretty soon. I'd like to make that the last 1.5 branch release as working on both branches is not really efficient. Actually, my original intention was that branches would be short lived and merges occur only around dot release points.
The next release to consider, is therefore 1.6. It has a number of pretty core changes so far - top level tasks, the import task, the new project helper, namespace support. I think we are pretty close to some form of antlib system too. I'd also like to get some sort of polymorphism in there, although that is less sure, at this time.
I don't think there should be much in the way of other major structural changes in the core for this release. There will of course be continuing bug fixes to core and tasks as always. I would, however, like to put a fair bit of effort into trying out and testing these new features to make sure they work as we want them to before committing them to a release. I think there are probably a few interesting interactions we need to sort out :-)
As for timeframes, I'd try for the 1.5.2 release by end January and a 1.6 release by end May, maybe earlier.
This is not a vote, just a discussion starter to give us something to work with.
Thoughts? Conor
