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/ 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!
