Now that derby client code is checked in , I am wondering what are the plans for the next release ?
I am kind of done with coding the fix for handling out-of order transaction log writes(derby-96),
have some more testing to do. but I should be able to complete it by end of this month. The reason
I am curious about the release schedule is if the release is in a month or so , I would prefer
to focus on fixing some bugs instead of start working on a new line item.
I think aiming for a release in a month or so would be good.
However, I do not want to rush out the first version of the client as that will suddenly give us a legacy codebase. We have only just seen this code and there are a couple of areas that we should consider:
* which JREs will it run on * do we need JSR-169 support * what are the plans for SSL transport, including client auth * what do we do with Referenceable * what are our plans for connector support * do we have the right properties * do we change the commmand line processing for NetworkServer
and probably a few more things as well. We don't need to resolve all of these but at least figure out what the plan is.
