Hi, A quick followup on the plan.
We had some minor issues with the apache infra concerning the release. Now things are back on track, see the vote mail, don't hesitate to participate! I've cut the branch from the release point, extra commits did not get into 1.0, we'll discuss that later. All existing open issues have been moved to version 1.1, 1.0 will be focused on stability and commits will be carefully scrutinized. An important point to not forget now is to drop the 'alpha version warning' in the release notes from the 1.0 branch, and possibly the trunk (and the downloads page). Jukka would you like to do the honors? Did I leave anything out? best, alex On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 3:26 PM, Jukka Zitting <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > We've done a lot of stuff over the past two years and many parts of > Oak are already good enough for production use, so I think we should > start preparing for our 1.0 release. > > Our original plan was to target for Jackrabbit 3.0 [1] but given the > problems we encountered [2] I think it would make more sense to do > separate Jackrabbit 2.8 and Oak 1.0 releases now, and revisit the idea > of a unified Jackrabbit 3.0 release once the dust settles. > > With that background, here's my suggestion for a Oak 1.0 release plan: > > * Cut Oak 0.20 from trunk already this week to get a clear branch point > * Create a 1.0 branch from that point, with version number to 1.0-SNAPSHOT > - this will be our release branch, with focus on stability > - all changes should go first to trunk, and merged to 1.0 only after > extra review > - if needed, we can cut a few more 0.2x releases from the branch > - when everything looks good, we cut Oak 1.0.0 from the branch > - afterwards the branch will be used for 1.0.x maintenance releases > * Update trunk version to 1.1-SNAPSHOT > - normal development may continue in the trunk > - any changes should remain backwards compatibile with 1.0 > > [1] http://markmail.org/message/u7dsue7ezb4cd4ox > [2] http://markmail.org/message/lgvbvw742zryhlmp > > BR, > > Jukka Zitting >
