> @kinow Will the next version be 1.0 beta? Yes. We could release an 1.0-alpha3 if the API is not stable enough. I was actually thinking in releasing 1.0 final, but there was some internal discussion about it, and it was decided to release at least one beta version after these alpha releases, to a) make sure we have a good public API (i.e. err on having less than what's needed, not more, so that we can maintain it for a while) and b) it has enough features for users. Do you have any suggestion on alpha/beta/final? > Do you have any ideas about when to make AWT as optional dependency? I think it is better to solve this problem in the alpha phase, because this change may break the user's code. I think it is more a matter of deciding the how first. If it is not too complicated, we can include it in the next release. I can't recall what classes we used from AWT (Dimension maybe?). We had a user that contributed with a lot of suggestions and by testing pull requests, and his application was being deployed on Android. I think he was the first one to request it, from what I recall, as for the time being he had to do some patching on his code in order to use Imaging. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know, please :slightly_smiling_face: BTW, it would be great if you could create a JIRA issue for this issue too, as we need one to track changes in our `changes.xml` (that's updated by committers, no need to worry about that).
