Andy,

I'm with you for another alpha release asap for the T4.13 users. And I agree on not having the portlet functionality in beta 1 if it's too difficult or too much work right now. It seems to me that the point of beta's is that the given functionality is as bugfree as possible. Release candidates are complete versions with (nearly) all functionality.

I must admit that the sequential-numbering-problem looks grim. It's one of the points that when I read it in Howards book I tought "hmm that nasty". I havn't looked into the problem and the code though so I can be totally wrong here. Maybe we should have partial sequences like "document.form.textfield1" instead of "23". Another possibility would be directed rewind trough direct naming, any explicity named components must be able to (partially) reind on their own.

hmm...

i'm +1 for a release asap.

AFAIK, the current bugs / problems are those 2 mentioned
in the previous emails +  the portlet support.

Portlet support will have to wait ( but I'm currently talking a look at it
and perhaps Jesse is too) for a later beta, and even if we don't resolve
the other bugs by monday, I think a release should be made (perhaps,
it should have been named alpha-7 ).

Remember that we still don't have a release that works with
Tapestry-4-beta-13 and on. A new user will have to grab the source
and compile if he wants to try tacos right now.

Really? Maybe you are right. That sounds like good advice. I don't want user expectations to cause discontent. Thank you for the suggestion, I think I'll
follow it. (At least for one more release)

Jesse,

In my own experience with open source projects (
http://core-lan-org.sourceforge.net & http://helpcore.sourceforge.net) and "weird stuff going on in beta's" I've always opted not to release. Release
early and release often does only apply if "release is working" ;-)
Otherwise just keep it in alpha just a bit longer until it's fixed, saves a
LOT of trouble.

An besides in open source, nearly everyone expects beta's to be as good as
final releases, so why release now if you get get it fixed?

Kind regards,
Dennis Fleurbaaij

So since it seems like there's so much questionable stuff going on, and
because it's friday I would have to say that a release isn't happening until
Monday.

Let's say that between now and then though that no new features of any
kind are added, just bug fixes and documentation updates.

Sound reasonable? I'm releasing beta-1 on Monday whether it's ready or
not, there's always beta-2 ;)
