It probably a good time for a new release, esp since the Oreilly
bifx Conf will be at the end of the month.

It's now just coming up to 11 months since the last major release of BioJava (1.1x) came out. Since then, the project has come along a huge amount, both in terms of new code and maturity of the core functionality. I spoke to David Huen yesterday, and we both agreed that it's past time for a new release. So let's see if we can get 1.20 out within a year of 1.10! Unless there are any objections, I think we should aim at the end of this month as a firm release target. If anyone checks code into any of the core packages (even if it's just to fix a bug), please could you: - Send a description of what you've done to the mailing list - Ensure that there are corresponding test cases in the JUnit test suite (this is a good policy for all checkins -- let's see how well it works for this release cycle). If there are any big chunks of code which need to be checked in, but which won't be ready for 1.2, there's always the possibility of putting in the branch for 1.2 early, then checking new code in on the head. But we'll deal with this issue as and when it becomes an issue. Does anyone know of any reasons why now would be a particularly bad time to release? Any other comments? Thomas. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
