I would like to suggest we use the version number of the upcoming
release instead of - or in addition to - 'Nightly Build' in the Fix
version/s field. This way the jira feature of generating change
log/release notes can be used and for the user looking for resolution of
a reported bug it is also clear which release will contain the fix to
"his" bug.

Our JIRA process hasn't always been the most consistent but we're
supposed to be marking bugs fixed with a version of "nightly." This
means that they are fixed in the latest source code. You can safely
interpret that to mean 1.0.10 in this case. Once the next version is
finalized the version fixed for these issues will be changed to
reflect the new version number.
As for the release date, that is impossible to say. Releases take
quite a bit of time so we're not anxious to do them every few weeks.
My sense is that after a few more months of bug fixes and new stuff
we'll be ready for another release. That's really up to the community
though.

Hi.
First of all: thanks to you all for taking the time to work on
MyFaces !
I'm currently using MyFaces in a commercial project at work with will be
released later this year. Therefore I'm very interested in which direction
MyFaces is heading in regards to the open JIRA issues and the release
schedule.
The current JIRA (1) setup doesn't list the fixes for the upcoming 1.0.10
release and a scheduled release date. I know that no date can be set in
stone until shorty before the release - but the date can always be updated
as you go along.
What I would like as an user is to see which open issues will be included in
which release and which are already fixed. I see that you have a "Nightly"
target - but as an user I ask "Nightly" when (between 1.0.8 and 1.0.9 or
between 1.0.9 and 1.0.10) ?
I think the doc/release-notes.txt file gives a nice overview of issues
fixed, but the automatic JIRA ChangeLog could also be as a good starting
point for the release notes.
I think a good example on a roadmap and Changelog is defined at the JBoss'
JIRA installation (2).
Also this could also help new developers to see where to start (Unscheduled
issues).
Please, don't take this in any negative way - I'm just giving some feedback
from an user like to live on the bleeding edge of the MyFaces development.
Best regards,
Jesper
