Hi All,
Hi Scott,
I noticed Mina 1.1.7 is listed as stable in the download section of
the Mina web page, while Mina 2.0.0-M5 is listed as unstable. Any
idea when Mina 2.0 might have a stable release? Has this been
previously announced?
'Stable' and 'Unstable' have a special meaning. They are not related to
how buggy is the code for an 'unstable' version, it's much more related
to the expected API changes. In the MINA 2.0-M5 case, the API is
supposed to be frozen, so it could be seen as 'stable'.
In any case, we don't release when there are blocking or critical bugs
(sadly, they are deeply hidden and discovered _after_ each releases ...:/ )
I'd like to use Mina 2 over Mina 1, but its unclear how long I might
be waiting for a stable version.
If I were you, I would used MINA 2.0. It's way better than MINA 1.0, and
it's guaranteed to evolve in the good direction. There have been barely
no effort on MINA 1.0 since last year, and I'm afraid that as soon as
MINA 2.0 will be out, that will be the end of life of MINA 1.0 (except
extremely importants bugs).
Hope it helps.
