As this indicates, I think such planning should be decoupled from the release process, in so far as we should be able to allow up to N intermediate releases to be produced for each of the M milestones that may fall out of The List. Thus, this takes less precedence over the release process itself for the short term. Nevertheless, I hope this thread can be used by someone as the launching pad for identifying the strategic goals that we should be thinking about for 0.3.0 (which I consider the next major release). Short note from the marketing department: shouldn't 0.2.0 be released as 1.0? The 0.2.0 version number may scare potential users away thinking OpenOCD is not ready for any serious work.

But I notice libusb 0.1 is forever 0.1 (latest is 0.1.12) and that does not prevent it from widely used, including being used by OpenOCD. ;-) usbutils (lsusb) is again always below 1.0. And version 8 (1) might scare people away actually. ;-) Just kidding. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com ___ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
[Openocd-development] milestone strategy [3 of 4]
Hi all, In tandem to perpetual tactical quality-improvement release goals, the OpenOCD community will be pursuing strategic development goals that lead to special milestone releases. As this indicates, I think such planning should be decoupled from the release process, in so far as we should be able to allow up to N intermediate releases to be produced for each of the M milestones that may fall out of The List. Given the scope of our ambitions and resources, I think effective milestone planning for this community might best first revolve around the major releases, allowing as many regular releases as necessary to guide the code in the proper direction. If we adopt a rigorous, the question for organizing milestones should be: how long should we wait between _major_ version releases? My feeling would be: as long (or as little) as it takes. Thus, this takes less precedence over the release process itself for the short term. Nevertheless, I hope this thread can be used by someone as the launching pad for identifying the strategic goals that we should be thinking about for 0.3.0 (which I consider the next major release).
