Hi

Isn't there any interest?

releases are for WebTest a bit artificial as the latest build is

attention to official releases and WebTest 2.1 is already 6 months old
meaning that many improvements have occurred since this time.

+1

I think that next release's name should be 3.0 rather than 2.2 due
particularly to WT-232 that bring very significant changes in WebTest
internals.

Shouldn't major version be used for changes that have major (prositive or negative...) impacts for the end-user? Such as a change that could break existing script, as the migration to htmlunit was, or a change that brings new possibilities.

That way, I could as an end-user better decide if/when I want to upgrade the webtest version. A change to a minor version could be done pretty much anytime, whereas refactoring and testing amay have to be planned along with a change to a major version.

I would see the use of Ant 1.7, java 1.5, xpath 2.0 or successful XmlHttpRequest as possible reasons for a webtest 3.


What do you think?


For my part I see currently 3 issues that I want to see fixed before the
next official release:

- Provide a core structure and utility to facilitate WebTest projects
http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-287

- Upgrade to htmlunit 1.11
http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-288

and fix the remaining unwanted differences in generated report due to:
- Configure steps before execution rather that when added to <webtest>
http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-232

What do you think?

Maybe uPgrade all possible dependencies?
A quick look has shown at least log4j and oro could be upgraded.

Best
