Re: [dna-dev] Releasing 0.6
I agree that we're due for an interstitial release. There's been a lot
of clean-up and additions since 0.5. I think that we're pretty close to
having the Eclipse plugin as well though - it may be work waiting a week
for it. I'd love to hear others' opinions on that.

Subject: [dna-dev] Releasing 0.6
During the 0.6 release cycle, we've added a few new features and fixed
quite a few issues with the graph library, connectors, and JCR
implementation [1]. In fact, a number of the issues required some
fairly significant refactoring of the state management components in
our JCR implementation. The original 0.6 plan, however, was include a
search and query feature. I've made a lot of progress with search/
query, but I still have a few weeks of completing the feature
development and integrating it with the connectors and JCR
implementation. There are also a number of outstanding issues that we
need/want to fix, so I'd guess we're still a month away from the
planned 0.6 release.
However, a number of people have taken a look at 0.5 recently, and
they've run into some of the same issues that we've already fixed.
They're currently using trunk, but have asked when the next stable
release will be available. We can either continue our current plans,
or change our schedule a bit and release 0.6 without the search/query
feature (or the fantastic Eclipse publishing plug-in). For the
record, we released 0.5 on June 11, and that's just under 3 months
ago.
I'm leaning toward releasing 0.6 early and moving the search/query and
Eclipse features to the following release (which may actually be a 1.0
candidate). That would require me putting aside the search/query
stuff for a few days (maybe a week) so that I can focus on fixing a
number of the more critical and high-priority issues (we still have a
few TCK regressions that we should fix before releasing) and
reviewing/
editing the documentation. But I think it's worth it so that we
can
get another much more stable release out the door for people to use.
Please share your thoughts and comments. I would like to decide
within a day or two.
Best regards,
Randall
