[aerogear-dev] Roadmaps / release dates

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

I am looking at polishing the iOS roadmap and did take a look at the
roadmaps for Android and JS (see [1] and [2]).

Personally I think they are kinda confusing, since they talk about
different releases...

The JS lib talks about:
 - 1.0.0.Alpha1 (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0M5)
 - 1.0.0.M1 (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0M6)
 - 1.0.0.M2 (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0M7)
 - 1.0.0.CR1 (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0CR)
 - 1.0.0.Final (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0Final)

While the Android lib talks about:
 - 1.0.0.Alpha1 (and says release with AeroGear 1.0.0M6)
 - 1.0.0.Alpha2
 - 1.0.0.Beta
 - 1.0.0.Final

Not sure if it's helpful if the different libs use different terms
(e.g. Alpha vs. milestone vs. beta)...

What's clear (if I get it right) are the 'raw' release dates for the
'umbrella AeroGear' releases:
- 1.0.0M6    ==> ~ mid Oct 2012
- 1.0.0M7    ==> ~ mid Dec 2012
- 1.0.0CR    ==> ~ mid Feb 2013
- 1.0.0Final ==> ~ mid Apr 2013
(basically, every 8 weeks, right ?)

What's also clear (IMO) is that these individual components do NOT
need to match the exact 'release label' of the 'umbrella' AeroGear...
But... not sure if they should at least kinda match a common
'semantic' (e.g. Milestone, Beta etc). I tend to say yes here...

Background:
I want to know the 'labeling' because I am TRYING :) to identify
reasonable pieces for the iOS library, to be released along the
'umbrella' AeroGear release, but got confused since Android has a beta
and JS has 'only' milestones :)

Any thoughts?
