The releases don't even need to be "official" - it's just an acknowledgment of progress with the realization that the rest of the modules might not have adapted to that progress yet. IMHO, going 0.x.y makes most sense for all components, not just metrics. This is supported by looking for example at Artificer, that had a great number of 0.x releases (called S-RAMP then) before it reached today's 1.0.0.Alpha1. That milestone is significant and means that it has all the features deemed for 1.0.0 and is ready for stabilization phase. All Hawk components are far from that stage. > > Thank you, > Stefan > > ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Lukas Krejci" <lkrejci(a)redhat.com&gt; >> To: hawkular-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2015 8:38:30 AM >> Subject: [Hawkular-dev] Inventory to break its REST API >> >> Hi, >> >> the time has come to merge the "future" branch of inventory to its master >> so that we don't prolong the schizophrenic situation of the component. >> >> Because that merge will break the REST API, we need to sort out the recent >> discussion about how to handle the breaking changes in the builds.
