I think it's time to start discussing the particulars of a 2.1
release.
There's been a lot of advancements made in our plugin
infrastructure. There's also been the pluggable console
enhancements. It would be good to get a release out, with these
capabilities. They provide a more solid platform for future
enhancements, I think.
There are a lot of improvements to the plugin infrastructure in
trunk. We have been using these new features internally for a while
now which much success, so I agree it would be a great idea to get a
new release into the hands of the user community for further testing
and feedback.
There's also GShell and new monitoring capabilities. I'm probably
missing a few other new functions.
I hope that monitoring can make it into 2.1. That stuff is really cool!
Finally, IIUC, 2.1 would be able to support a Terracotta plugin.
I'd also be very interested to hear what WADI capabilities that
could be exposed.
I'm willing to bang the release manager drum. I see that Joe has
already started tugging on the TCK chain
What do others think? How close are we to a 2.1 release? What
additional capabilities and bug fixes are needed? Can we wrap up
development activities in the next week or two?
I think you summed things up pretty well. I'm still working on a few
bug fixes but I think those can be wrapped up soon. Also I posted to
the TCK list earlier today about a JSF issue that will need to be
resolved.
Best wishes,
Paul
