BTW, yes this is a consequence of moving to Mars.1. So is getting Gradle support into Eclipse now and not in 9 months. In the big picture, we figure it works out to a net benefit to our users and adopters.

Many people (EGit / JGit, Mylyn, CDT -- to name a few) had been putting minor releases in the release train during the SRs. I ran some numbers last year, and > 1000 Installable Units had incremented their minor version number between SR0 and SR2. This means, assuming people are following the version guidelines, that up to 1,000 bundles had already been adding new API between SR0 and SR2. Changing the name of the train just means we are acknowledging what was already happening.

SR1 required each component to be a safe upgrade so that exact release timing was irrelevant. Mars.1 is a new release so users must get to see the co-ordinated new release in one go rather than incrementally. If A.1 pulls in B.1, but C uses B, users of C are in a mess until they get C.1.

This seem unnecessarily restrictive. I don't bother with the announcement part. However, I don't recall there is something in the process that requires project to wait publishing the release bits. Not making them visible could have a huge effect on a project's adopter community. -Gunnar _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev -- R.
