OK, you convinced me, 2.0 might be better. Gilles

Yes, but it happens quite frequently that 2.0 version have no brand new implementation, but only some major changes. Take spring 2.0 for example. I agree that people may expect more from a 2.0 version than what will be in the next version, but I also think that we will get more brand new users, who didn't know Ivy before, so can't really compare, than users upgrading. If we choose 2.0, we will have to make things clear for users upgrading. Also, I think that having a 2.0 followed by a 3.0 would not be a good > sign of stability for the user. I don't think 2.0 will be followed by 3.0. I don't think we'll be ready for a major rewrite any time soon. We still have to catch a stronger community, and there is still room for many changes and improvements on the current stream of development. Now, it is true that it would mark to move to apache, and it is also > true that the backward compatibility of the API has been broken. > > So, I don't know.

It's not easy, my opinion is not strong, it's only a slight preference for a 2.0, but if someone really objects with good arguments for a 1.5, this would be fine for me. - Xavier Is there any apache conventions about version numbering scheme? > > Gilles > > 2007/3/23, Maarten Coene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I also prefer to use 2.0 as the next release version. > > > > Maarten > > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Xavier Hanin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 7:02:14 PM > > Subject: release preparation: is 1.5 the appropriate target revision? > > > > Hi, > > > > While preparing the next release I've started wondering if 1.5 is the > > appropriate target revision. > > > > Indeed, there have been major changes in the source code structure, and > we > > even have renamed configuration files to settings files.
