Dear all,
I've sent this one earlier, maybe too early, though there was not a
single response to this.
Probably we shall agree on how would we imagine the 11.1 release. For me
the theme would be:
* Bugfixes
* Java EE 8 Support
* Java EE Support for Gradle
Of course we can do something else, like just do a few module updates,
or completely opt out for 11.1...
I know that 11.0 is just has been pushed out the door, but if we would
like to do a NetBeans 11.1 in June we need someone who takes the reins.
We need a release schedule, the way of work (branching, JIRA, etc.) soon.
I've already taken this position twice, it has been quite a journey,
thank you!
Beside the usual RM stuff which we did do far I see the following new
challenges:
1. This is a minor release, probably coordinating changes would be a
bit easier.
I guess we'd just branch off release110 to release111 and continue
to cherry-picking from master.
2. This would be the first release as Apache top level project
3. Probably we need to experiment releasing patches, or release 11.1 as
a set of parches...
4. Codes for 12.0 will be run in parallel on master, so JIRA tracking
could be a bit harder.
As of myself, I'd concentrating on development and bug-fixing in the
next couple of cycles.
So think about it!
Volunteers we Need you!
