Hi Developers, This is a gentle reminder that MCF 1.7 is due to be released at the end of August. Since it is a very major release, I would like to have everything done by August 7, to give us time to fix inevitable problems that come up during the release cycle.
I've gone through the outstanding Jira tickets and added comments to each one. Please have a look at your ticket and decide whether you will be able to contribute before the 7th. Please also bear in mind that all the major framework changes for 1.7 have been completed now -- I hope -- so things should be stable from that respect until release. ManifoldCF 1.7 is the last planned 1.x release. After 1.7, backwards compatibility will be broken as we develop MCF 2.0. In MCF 2.0, because we are removing backwards compatibility constraints, most connectors will have significant changes. So there may be a considerable amount of time where MCF 1.7 is the most stable release available. Given that, let's get everything into it that we can. Thanks! Karl
