Re: [wildfly-dev] clarification on why Wildfly versions are increasing so quickly
The versioning really just reflects our desire to be a bit more incremental with feature
delivery, and to have a regular release schedule that encourages participation and
involvement. Overall I think we are still a very mature and conservative project. As
anyone who has ever submitted a contribution will tell you, we have numerous checks and
reviews throughout the whole process.
As to the actual interval, we aim to have Final releases around 6-9 months apart, although
that can fluctuate depending on the feature set, and if we are absorbing say a new Java EE
release.

Hi everyone!
First off, kudos to everyone for a great product!
Secondly, I'm wondering if someone could explain to me the significance of the quick
succession of Wildfly version upgrades: from 8 -> 9 -> 10 (soon).
It seemed like we were on JBoss 7.x for a long time, and now the top link at
http://wildfly.org/downloads/ <http://wildfly.org/downloads/> is actually the
Wildfly 10.x beta.
Does this represent:
1. a sudden increase in contributions and feature work?
2. shift in marketing (i.e., no underlying tech changes)
3. something else
Our concern is that this represents some instability / internal dynamics / change in
policy that would encourage us to visit other app servers.
Thank you!
