1.3 is what i am calling the next release of Roller which is what's in the current trunk. 1.3 includes lots of stuff including bug fixes, the new theme management code which allows for shared themes, and the pojo wrappers stuff.

i actually wanted to cut a 1.3 release about 6 weeks ago, but with ASF issues going on we couldn't do it. i definitely think we should do a 1.3 release ASAP and make that the final release from the 1.x branch. once we do that then according to our release plan we would move the current trunk to a 1.x branch and move the 2.0 branch to become the new trunk.

personally, i don't care much for all these legal issues. sourceforge, java.net, asf ... they are all good places for opensource projects. if we honestly can't find a way to reconcile the ASF legal issues then i suggest we cut our releases from elsewhere until this stuff is resolved. i believe someone gave an example of a previous incubating project that continued to release code from java.net for a while? can we do that?

I'm confused again.

Was there a Roller 1.3 release, or is this a just a Sun BSC deployment?

If the latter, can we be a bit more careful with release numbering for the Sun-internal releases?

We rely on release numbers in bug tracking and in communications with users, and we need to be able to understand where we are in a cycle to assess what to commit and where, and what we can tell users about when something was fixed or in which release to expect a fix.

Also, are we planning any more 1.x releases before 2.0 (assuming all ASF-related topics are covered)?
