Hi all,
The Tuscany SCA Java release 0.90 will be available next week and now a
discussion has started to figure out what can be in the next release.
It would be great to get user feedback on what your wish list is and if
there are areas that need attention. I am forwarding this email to the
user list to help figure out what is important to you.

With the 0.90 release almost out how about starting on 0.91? Its been
almost
3 weeks since the code chill for 0.90, be good if we could start doing
releases much more regularly and 4 - 6 weeks for a small point
release seems
good to me, so how about aiming for cutting an 0.91 branch in a week
or 2?
The main things I'd like to get out are the improvements to the
scripting
scripting support with optional .componentType sidefiles and dynamic
interfaces, and the ajax binding and jsonrpc binding simplification and
unification. With those, the new feed binding and the port of the
aggregator
sample that would give 0.91 a sort of web20/scripting focus, and
doing it
quick like this should make it relatively easy to get done by using the
trunk stability from 0.90.

In addition to what you listed here, I looked at your "next release
work items" list at [1] and there are a few other items from that list
+ some that were not in your list that I'd like to get into the next
release:
[1] http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev%40ws.apache.org/msg18127.html
Web Service binding
- work without pre-existing wsdl doc
- async
- Fix open jira's about ?wsdl and endpoint url
- get the Axis2 REST support to work, I tried today and I think that
our TuscanyServlet blocks it
WebApp
- ability to serve HTML files when we embed Jetty or Tomcat
Binding-JMS
- get going again, I think it's starting to work again as Simon is
using it for his SCA domain experiments
Spring container
- get it going again, Mike Edwards seems to have made good progress at
getting it working again, from what I can see in his recent commit
SCA Assembly and Domain
- include some what Simon Laws has started to allow components to be
in multiple runtimes
- a number of detail fixes and improvements, support for multiple
bindings on references for example
- support for import/export in SCA contributions
Distributions
- don't want to always distribute *everything*
- maybe distributions targeting each runtime and you can ± extensions
when
you build the distro?
Java SCA APIs
- add missing APIs like RequestContext
- would be good to get a first cut of some conversational support
Most of this can be done relatively quickly, so having the next
release in 4/6 weeks sounds good to me. I agree with you that we
should have much more frequent releases from now on, as our SPIs and
core are now stable and we're starting to see good progress with
extensions.
So, we could cut a new branch soon (I'd suggest in 2 or 2.5 weeks
rather than 1 week), and having the release branch in place will allow
us to decide for each feature or bug fix if we keep it in trunk only
(because it's likely to not be ready for that release) or trunk + the
branch.
Thoughts?
