All,
I think an 0.8.0 release (at least a release candidate) is do-able.
We already have a lot of functionality since the 0.7.0 release, and
it's been working fine for me (I patched bugs with the new browsing
stuff locally, but until just now SF.net's CVS was down so I just
checked them in).
The only bug I'd like to see fixed for an 0.8.0 is the Fixnum syntax
highlighting - we highlight numbers inside identifiers (like method
names) when we shouldn't. Beyond that I'd encourage everyone to try
out a copy of the nightly build and make sure what's in there is
stable - particularly Ruby browsing, handling of RJS/RXML, the new
class wizard, template insertion via content assist, code formatting
and the goto matching bracket action.
I agree. If we have a stable nightly on sunday I'd release it as 0.8.0.
There's release related tasks I'd like to see happen as well, but
they should be able to be done post-release - particularly, I'd like
to use RadRails experience to help us create some single- download
releases of 0.8.0 - so you pick the download for your platform and
get the bare minimum stuff you need to run RDT (plus maybe some
branding like splash loader screen, icon, etc).
Which would definitely prevent the installation problems users still
encounter with the update-site or zip file release. Since I have no idea
how much work would be involved in creating an additional RCP release, I
am not sure if want to go for it ;-)
An additional couple notes:
We should probably set up our plugins to enforce that they require
the 3.1.x versions of eclipse plugins (we'd need to figure out which
plugins and versions exactly) - so we can avoid our users trying RDT
out on 3.2 and having all sorts of odd bugs.
Yes, that would be important. I think there is a version attribute in
the require statements.
Next, I think immediately after this release we should target Eclipse
3.2. They've released their last milestone build and the final 3.2
should be coming by June.
OK, there shouldn't be any API changes anymore.
