Sorry, but I still don't really get why you think a line of development that is some time away from an alpha release needs to worry more about the stability of a component that is already in place for a point release. You could use beta-2, but I don't see the point in that either.


I'm actually more worried about 2.0.x.

Only 2 things have cropped up in beta-3, and they've both been fixed (WAGON-224, WAGON-225). There was one more that predated my changes, also fixed in trunk and easily worked around in Maven (WAGON-237).

Sure, it would probably have been better to rename 1.0-beta-2 as 1.0 and release Wagon beta-3 as 1.1-beta-1. Hindsight is great. But plenty of time was left for discussion, enough people voted for the release, and I stand by it. Re-releasing something old as 1.0 when the others are out would just be even more confusing. I don't really get what you are trying to achieve that you can't do already.

I don't have a specific problem other then the few things that have cropped up, but the vast majority of people have not tried the new wagon and you honestly have no idea what's going to happen. I would just rather be safe then repentant.

I not to worried about fiddling versions, I just want to patch fix what was used for the last release myself. It's generally the case that we have problems when we do this.

I personally don't think it's for "no good reason": I want to do what we just decided to do with Maven itself. With Wagon we should have just cut the release and moved on.

Seriously, Wagon should be the least of your concerns in trying to stabilise things there. How about telling us what you are trying to achieve or the problems you're having instead? A month ago you were stabilising, a couple of weeks ago you were intent on rewriting significant parts, now you're stabilising for release again. Instead of being able to dig in and help out, we're wasting time trying to figure out what to call things.

In short I don't want to go hunting, and akin to what we're going with 2.0.x and 2.1.x. The changes were too great for a beta and I don't really want to put them into the 3.0-alpha-1 release.

That is significant:

http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10335&fixfor=12544

If the bug fixes could be separated from large refactoring I could live with it. Nothing immensely terrible seems to be happening to the 2.0.9 folks using beta-2.

I meant rollback to beta-2 for a 1.0.x and then take the 1.0- beta-3 for Wagon 1.1.x.

I think 2.0.x should stay with what I suggest as Wagon 1.0.x and let 2.1.x use Wagon 1.1.x.

proxies don't work properly in beta-4.

Are you recalling this from memory or have a particular bug? Proxies weren't working in beta-3 because I made a stupid typo and there wasn't a test case, not because of the significance of changes. That got fixed in beta-4.

John reported a potential backwards compatibility issue (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-234 ), but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Is this what you are seeing?
