Hi Nick and all, One last try to convince you that we should release 1.6. If I do not succeed we'll deliver a 1.5.1... :-)
Reasons: 1/ The Cactus versioning is as follows: major.minor.patch => 1.6 would be a minor release. 1.5.1 would mean a patch release but it's not really. Actually there are more additions/updates than fixes. Out of 21 changes there are: - 11 new additions - 3 updates - 7 fixes 2/ We have moved to ASL 2.0 3/ All past versions of Cactus have so far been of the type major.minor except for patch releases (there was only one I think: 1.4.1 because 1.4 was quite buggy). 4/ Among the new additions there is a big one: The Maven plugin for Cactus, which itself warrants a new minor release I think. 5/ It's easier to release a 1.6 than a 1.5.1 as everything everywhere is tagged with 1.6 now (including docs like the feature page, etc). Also users are expecting that the next release is 1.6, not 1.5.1. 6/ I'd like to release the new maven plugin under a 1.6 version rather than a 1.5.1 (it's more consistent with the fact that all users have been using 1.6 snapshots so far). All in all, I think we have enough changes to make it a 1.6 release. What do you think? :-) Thanks -Vincent > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicholas Lesiecki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28 February 2004 06:20 > To: Cactus Developers List > Subject: Re: [VOTE] Releasing Cactus 1.5.1? > > Seems there are enough bug fixes to warrant a release, but 1.6 implies > a major fix or additional functionality. 1.5.1 will only be as new as > 1.6dev for a short while.
