I didn't mean to nag or sound negative, but I'm glad you plan to do
better. It isn't really the time between new features and bug fixes that
"bother me" much, it's the time they take to finalize and release. The
latest 1.3 releases have, to my recollection, had pretty few issues that
have prevented them from being GA. Then it takes several months before
you give it another try.
I understand you all have limited time and resources, but when the code
has been as stable and complete for so long as is the case with 1.3, I
don't see why you (as in "the Struts commiters", not you particularly
Ted ;) can't push it through faster. Couldn't some 2.0 work halted to
just get this done?
We're all volunteers here. People volunteer according to their
interests. So, no, we can't. :)
Personally, I don't plan to do any more work on 1.x at all. It's over
a year since I've had a 1.x application in production. The last
hundred hours I volunteered on 1.3.0 and 1.3.5 were a gift. Hopefully,
other people will continue to step up to the plate.
Again, I only mean this as constructive criticism, as I wish for Struts
2.x the very best. :)
The most constructive thing would be for people to try 1.3.5 and reply
back to the list. In order to label a distribution GA, what we need to
know most is that it works for people. The Struts 1.3.5 distribution
has been available to dev@ for over a week, and so far, there's been
exactly one comment. (Which was negative.)
If there were positive feedback, then we could offer up the
distribution to the user list. But, as it stands, no one has
volunteered to support the 1.3.5 distribution. No support, no release.
This is, I guess, pretty much what Ted and Don are talking about
regarding 2.0.0. Please concentrate on the nearest release (which will
hopefully be 2.0.0 very soon) instead of scattering your resources all
over the place. :)
Well, Struts 1.3.5 would be the nearest release, since the
distribution is already tagged and rolled. All that remains is for
people to step up and say that 1.3.5 works for them, and that they
will help support the release with patches and mailiing list posts.
In any event, the resources aren't ours to focus or scatter. We each
decide for ourselves how to best spend our own volunteer hours.
-Ted.
