Hi all, I'd like to start the process of getting Pivot 2.0 ready for release. There are still 25 open issues in JIRA, but a number of them should be pretty easy to resolve and the rest can be pushed to a maintenance release or Pivot 2.1.
Pivot 2.0 represents a huge step forward in many respects, and I'd like to get it in front of developers as soon as possible. If you could try to wrap up any features or issues you have been working on over the next few weeks, that would be great. In the meantime, I plan to start testing and updating documentation. It would be great if we could get 2.0 out the door by the end of October or mid-November at the latest. Once we get into December, it is harder to make a splash with a release announcement. We also have a number of changes in the pipeline for 1.5.2. I had originally assumed that we would release 1.5.2 well before 2.0 - now that 2.0 is close to release, I'm not sure we should bother. 1.5.2 does have some useful fixes and improvements, but it also has a few breaking API changes (something we had originally hoped to avoid for maintenance releases). All of these changes have also been incorporated into 2.0 - since we'd probably recommend that most developers upgrade to 2.0 anyways, should we still release 1.5.2 as well? Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Greg
