Re: Juju 1.26-alpha3 moving to 2.0-alpha1

[Cheryl Jennings]

Hi Everyone,

While we are still moving towards a 2.0 release, not all of the CLI /
behavior changes that will occur in Juju 2.0 are ready for an alpha
release.  To allow consumers to test new functionality in a timely manner,
we will be releasing a new development version called 1.26-alpha3.  This
release will contain:
- The new Rackspace Provider
- Support for CentOS and Windows images in streams
- Improved local charm deployment
- Support for Multi Series Charms

The next development release will be in mid-January and will be named
2.0-alpha1.  It will contain additional new features, and CLI / behavior
changes such as:
- Moving to a flat namespace for commands (for example, juju user add will
be juju add-user)
- Multi-environment (soon to be Multi-Model) support active by default

The 2.0-alpha1 release will be accompanied by a listing of CLI and behavior
changes, so that users may adjust any scripts / automation around Juju.

Thanks!
-Cheryl

Good Morning Alexis, 

Just out of curiosity have you guys considered offering nightly builds
via PPA. I think nightly builds would be good to get testing of new
features as well as existing functionality to ensure no regressions
could have potentially been introduced.

Is there a feature mapping to what's landing in each Alpha?

For example we really need native bundles and series-in-metadata,
which were due in 1.26. Does this mean these will land in an alpha
around the time the original 1.26 was released or is there a feature
shuffle we should be aware of? Thanks!
