Hi Malcolm,
I think we'll be close. (But I'll confess I've gotten in trouble
every time I've made a prediction).
My current feeling is that at ApacheCon we can work together to update
the docs, put the outstanding enhancement issues in, and fix a bunch
of the bugs. Then we can issue a "feature-complete beta2" right in
mid-October.
I've got this perfectionist zeal to fix all the bugs before releasing.
I count 17 without patches right now. If other community members
could step up and tackle one or two each, we could get them all done.
All the bugs? or all the known bugs? :)
Once those are fixed, we would do a "Release Candidate 1", wait a
couple of weeks, and if all is well issue Velocity 1.5.
(one key criteria for success of RC1 would be backwards-compatibility
with other frameworks like Click and Cayenne-- look forward to your
feedback on that).
Henning, Nathan, seem about right?
Yeah, i'd like to see these all fixed too. But for the record, if we
fail to squash some of the obscure ones that have been around for a
few releases already, i'd still like to see a release happen. There
have been too many improvements to hold this back much longer.
