Hi all,
can I hope for a release to happen soon?
I am needing releases to happen more frequently, or the various
cross-project integrations can't evolve.
+1. We have quite some pending things to integrate. I'll update the release schedule
for 7.0 and suggest an 1-2 weeks interval for releasing alphas and betas.
During the 6.0 iteration nothing happened for months, then we went
crazy fast
It so not so! :-)
Looking at the dates it wasn't like that at all: first 6.0 alpha was released 3 weeks
after 5.3.0.Final, then followed by 1~2weeks releases in between. If anything I think the
6.0.0 release was pretty well balanced.
6.0.0.Final 18/Nov/13
6.0.0.CR1 04/Oct/13
6.0.0.Beta2 27/Sep/13
6.0.0.Beta1 19/Sep/13
6.0.0.Alpha4 06/Sep/13
6.0.0.Alpha3 21/Aug/13
6.0.0.Alpha2 02/Aug/13
6.0.0.Alpha1 17/Jul/13
5.3.0.Final 25/Jun/13
and the time margin was too short for me to perform various
improvements before getting at CR phases (which I consider too late):
The CR was released 4 months after 6.0 the development began.
ideally I'd like to see timeboxed releases, following a reliable
pattern: like every two weeks would be awesome.
+1 and that's what we actually did during 6.0 (except the CR1-Final gap, when we were
struggling with the performance problems).
To make an example, I've released 8 tags (counting various projects)
just this past 2 weeks to accomodate for evolution of coupled sister
projects, not least to include fixes and adapt for API or SPI changes
into Infinispan.
Cheers,
Sanne
