AS 5 CR1 is due out June 10th as I understand it. That does not leave much time. After the current AS5 support changes are in seam we should probably do a 2.0.3.CR1 release. This will give us a few days prior to the AS5 release for dedicated Seam testing with a stable build (which did not happen prior to the last AS5 release). <br>
<br>My concern with waiting to tag is having unneeded changes creeping in and adding risk right up to AS5 release. I would rather do 2.0.3.CR2 release than have something break AS5 support and not know it until the last minute. If a last minute AS change does effects seam support then we would need to do a 2.0.3.CR2 release as you said. To mitigate this I should be involved and testing with the final AS5 release candidate prior to it being released. We should spot these issues before someone says "Its out the door".<br>
<br>I think that we need to hold <a href="http://2.0.3.GA" target="_blank">2.0.3.GA</a> until AS 5 is released or closer to it (depending on Stan's answers). I would rather not do a 2.0.3.SPX release.<br><br>All of this is influenced by the answers to Pete's questions though. If the release cycle is months we may need to adjust.<br>
<br>Of coarse the risk here is my time. We can discuss off line, and adjust priorities as needed.<br><br>-Jay<br>

People,<br>
<br>
As AS5 CR1 is due to come out soon, and Seam is (again) not working right, we are going to need to do a release of the 2.0 branch so we have a compatible release.<br>
<br>
Stan has asked for release before/when AS5 CR1 is out, but we may well end up having to do a Seam 2.0.3.CR2 once AS5 CR1 is out which accounts for last minute changes in the AS5 codebase [1]. I guess less work for us would be to test right up to the last minute with Seam_2_0 head, then put a tag in once the AS5 CR1 tag is in. Our release process takes around 2 - 3 days, how long is the AS release process? Will this fit timewise, Stan?<br>
<br>
Stan, do you think this sounds sensible? Do you know what the time lag between AS5 CR releases is going to be? i.e. do we then move Seam 2.0.3 to GA straight away, or do we hang around waiting for AS 5 GA.<br>
<br>
Jay, can you fit this into your schedule?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
[1] the problem that bit us last time is that we had Seam working a couple of days before the tag, but some last minute change broke it.<br>

I think it would be best to have that new Seam release for CR1, especially since this is supposed to be a "release candidate". But that's another debate on another thread.<br>
<br>
Of course, there is the risk that something else will come up that requires yet another Seam release before AS 5 final.<br>
