[dna-dev] Release plan for the 0.4 release

It's again that time when we need to look at the list of open JIRA issues that are targeted to be finished before the 0.4 release and determine whether to finish them or to push them to the next release. The goal is to release on or before next Thursday, April 30. The plan is to finish these issues before the release: http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-282 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-374 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-175 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-58 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-46 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-375 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-376 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-73 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-194 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-343 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-385 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-335 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-366 http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-277 That means that unless there is feedback or additional progress, these issues will be pushed to the next release: http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-78 (ESB sequencer) http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-239 (SVN connector) http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-240 (SVN connector) http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-36 (SVN connector) http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-37 (DB Schema connector) As always, the latest is in JIRA (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mod... ). This release is not the short release we had intended. We've enhanced and matured the connector framework, added some great connectors (file system and JPA/relational), improved other connectors (in-memory, federation), and improved the whole Graph API. But we've spent the most time in dramatically enhancing our JCR implementation, and we have added (among other things) update capability, node type management, constraints, import/export, and workspace clone. In fact, we've been using the TCK unit tests (from the Jackrabbit project), and are actually not that far from JCR Level 1 and Level 2 compliance. (You can check our nightly progress at ) We won't quite get to Level 1 and 2 compliance by the 0.4 release, but we think the next short release (or two very short releases) will provide the last features (search, query, events) required to make DNA a full-fledged JCR implementation and our "1.0" release.
