Re: Restlet 1.1, Spring

[Thierry Boileau]

Hello Marc, Thanks for your interest in the Restlet framework. a) I've seen in the maven repo that there is a restlet 1.1-m5 but on the website is an announcement of 1.1rc are there any diffrences? You can find the differences between 1.1-m5 and 1.1rc by having a look at the changes log that lists in fact all changes made for the 1.1 branch: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/changes b) When is the 1.1 release planned? Are the changes between 1.1-m5 and 1.1-SNAPSHOT included within this release? The 1.1 is planned for the 4th quarter of this year according to the roadmap (http://www.restlet.org/about/roadmap). Actually, it depends on the feedbacks about the 1.1rc. The idea is that no new functionnality is added, we focus only on the correction of bugs and documentation. The fewer bugs are reported, the earlier the 1.1 will be released. And yes,  the 1.1 release will contain all the changes made between 1.1-m5 and 1.1-snapshot. c) If the final release of 1.1 will take some months, how stable is the 1.1-SNAPSHOT? I couldn't use 1.1-m5. 1.1-m4 and the 1.0.xx series because of missing features (1.0.xx) and some issues (1.1-m4 and 1.1-m5). Well, the snapshot contains all the functionalities of the target 1.1 release. However, it contains some bugs that need to be fixed (some are already known, see [1]). The snapshot is not far from stability, you can use it for evaluation.

(I haven't tried it yet) Regarding these questions, I have to make some tests, since I'm not a Spring/Restlet expert. I'll answer later.
