Now as 2.1.8 is out, we should think about a 2.2 release. I
think for a
2.2 release we should at least finish the following things:
- Finish the maven2 build
- Sync everything with 2.1.x (apply changes that were only
applied to
2.1.x if appropriate)
- Separate samples from blocks
- Remove author tags
While imho the first two items on the list are a simple must, I
think we
should really do the other ones as well. If we don't aim to do
them for
2.2 we'll simply never do them. And it's really not that hard
to do it.
And finally, we should make a stable forms block (and perhaps
others as
well).
WDYT
Aren't we aiming at a 2.2M1 release? If yes, the only must is a
working build system IMHO.
I'm a bit confused, is this the only difference between 2.1 and
2.2 or are the other changes complete and ready to roll? These
changes amount to a refactoring. What distinguishes 2.2 from 2.1.8?
not at all :-)
- ECM++
- Virtual sitemap components
- blocks (sitemap blocks, exposing blocks)
- per sitemap reloading classloader (for dev)
- reworked property management
- Spring integration (Spring block)
- possible to listen to sitemap events
- refactoring of Javaflow (uses now the commons-javaflow project which
was started by Thorsten)
- introduction of CTemplate (refactoring of JXTemplate in 2.1.x)
... and maybe some other things
This is what I thought. I was in effect questioning wether these new
features are ready to go. My concern is the documentation for these
new changes and features. An admittedly quick perusal of SVN didn't
reveal much at all. Even a M1 release requires a bit of documentation
so that the changes and new things get tested.
We also have the plan that Cocoon 3.0 will be based on blocks that
run in a shielded classloader. Currently OSGi ist our best bet (and
I'm quite optimistic that it will fit our needs).
I'm hoping to see this by the end of next year. As long as I have
nothing to do with it it should be doable. Seems like everything I
touch these days falls behind schedule. :(
