Hi All, In preparation for releasing the next ServiceMix 4, I would like to propose that we skip a minor version number and release as NMR 1.2 and ServiceMix 4.2. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, we have a few of our own bundles in both NMR and the Features projects that will actually be numbered the same as the release. As we know, this can cause problems for some people using SNAPSHOTs because the SNAPSHOT version will actually be considered as newer than the release due to OSGi versioning semantics. Second, this is going to be made worse by some of the open source users that are mixing in parts from the FUSE distribution which is already at 4.1.
I think we can debate the long term versioning strategy separately (Apache Felix bundles use odd numbers for SNAPSHOTs and only release even numbers), but for the time being I wanted to see if anyone would object to releasing as NMR 1.2.0 and ServiceMix 4.2.0 to clear up some of these issues?
