Hi, BioJava 3 has matured massively in SVN during this year and it is time to prepare a first release. I propose the following release plan. See also two other topics for discussion below.
Release Plan 3.0 * Alpha release build(s) during the next days I will start to provide a first alpha release build. This will be followed by semi-regular follow up alpha builds (depending on SVN activity) - During the next weeks any missing features should be committed to SVN. Refactoring of code can still be done during this time. - Add and update documentation in wiki - Module maintainers: check compile warnings for your modules in automated builds. Make sure no compile warnings are being displayed. * Beta release build(s) the first beta release is scheduled for the weekend Nov 21st. - From this point on only minor changes (bug fixes) should be added to the code base - Module maintainers: check and update javadoc for your modules * Release 3.0 The 3.0 Release is scheduled for Dez 12th There are two things we should still discuss: * backwards compatibility: the current "core" module contains tons of legacy 1.7 code. Shall I go ahead and delete this module? * documentation: The wiki contains tons of documentation for 1.7 which will not be useful for 3.0. As a procedure for cleaning this up and avoiding confusion I suggest to move all 1.7 related docu into a special section of the wiki. All toplevel links to documentation should point to 3.0. Any other suggestions? Andreas _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
