Re: [jboss-dev] EJB3 Release Schedule
Last week we did the following:
* Released 1.0.0 of all EJB3 subcomponents
* Updated the dependency chain and released jboss-ejb3-as-int:1.0.0-CR2
* Promoted 1.0.0-CR2 to 1.0.0
* Updated AS trunk, Branch_5_x, Branch_5_0 with EJB3 1.0.0
* Released the EJB3 Plugin 1.0.0[1], to patch JBossAS 5.0.0.GA with
libraries needed to bring EJB3 1.0.0 current.
* Announced to our community[2]
Looking forward we'll be pledging releases on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of
the month. In practice we'll be starting the process on Thursdays to
meet the deadline.
For our first straight-to-community release, all went pretty smoothly.
Still TODO in future releases:
* Better integrate release process w/ JBossQA
* Document procedures for release (ie. JBossNews updates to Twitter,
blogs, Release Notes, README, etc)
* Continue to chip away at "the continuous integration problem", in that
dependency updates are all manual, there's no re-tagging/repackaging of
CRs into GAs, and the testing process is much longer than we'd like.
* Get documentation/tutorials into the picture (Jaikiran's revamped and
updated the suite)

After the 1.0.0-GA Release of the EJB3 Projects, we will continue to
push releases both to the community and into AS active branches at a
resolution of twice a month[1]. The EJB3 Team has not yet agreed upon a
formal schedule (ie. every 1st and 3rd Monday will lead to occasional
gaps in cases where a month has 5 Mondays). After we've set this, we'll
reply back to this list with a commitment upon which the community and
dependent projects (ie. AS, WebBeans) may rely.
