It seems strange to have that kind of dot version for alpha to beta (though it seems stranger to release an alpha...). I guess this is similar to how apple releases it's OS now :)
Curious, why do you make the user download and decompress to get to: ***************************** W A R N I N G ********************************** All user accessible points in this software package are to be considered "alpha". This means that the developer team is not investing _any_ effort in providing back compatibility between alpha releases. This software will continue to be released as "alpha" until both code, schemas and APIs will be considered stable. Until then, there will be no warranty that newer versions will maintain back compatibility even in the most simple cases. On the other hand, once "beta" status is reached, back incompatible changes will be made only if absolutely necessary to reach "final" status. The Cocoon development team understands the importance of reliable software as well as the importance of protecting user investiments by the creation of a solid development platform that doesn't change. On the other hand, being the Cocoon project a pioneer in many fields and being most of the technologies used at a "working draft" phase only, this cannot be guaranteed before a final status is reached for the software. Until then, no effort will be provided to guarantee back compatibility. You have been warned. ***************************** W A R N I N G ********************************** I would think this might be something for the home page or at least available at the same level as the distribution so it can be read before download. best, -Rob. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carsten Ziegeler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cocoon-Dev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 2:11 AM Subject: Release Plans (was RE: New Components From Avalon Scratchpad) > Hi Team, > > it seems that it is time to think of some release plans. > Thanks to Giacomo we have the new directory structure in our CVS > and thanks to all of us we have a working HEAD cvs, so we can > deprecate the 2.0 branch making the development much easier for > all of us. > > So, these questions need to be answered: > a) What is the version of the next release? > > My personal answers to this are: > a) 2.0.1 > Comments?
