[dna-dev] Release plan for the 0.4 release

[Randall Hauch]

It's again that time when we need to look at the list of open JIRA  
issues that are targeted to be finished before the 0.4 release and  
determine whether to finish them or to push them to the next release.   
The goal is to release on or before next Thursday, April 30.

The plan is to finish these issues before the release:
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-282
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-374
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-175
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-58
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-46
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-375
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-376
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-73
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-194
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-343
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-385
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-335
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-366
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-277

That means that unless there is feedback or additional progress, these  
issues will be pushed to the next release:
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-78 (ESB sequencer)
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-239 (SVN connector)
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-240 (SVN connector)
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-36 (SVN connector)
     http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-37 (DB Schema connector)

As always, the latest is in JIRA (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310520&fixfor=12312792 
  ).

This release is not the short release we had intended.  We've enhanced  
and matured the connector framework, added some great connectors (file  
system and JPA/relational), improved other connectors (in-memory,  
federation), and improved the whole Graph API.  But we've spent the  
most time in dramatically enhancing our JCR implementation, and we  
have added (among other things) update capability, node type  
management, constraints, import/export, and workspace clone.  In fact,  
we've been using the TCK unit tests (from the Jackrabbit project), and  
are actually not that far from JCR Level 1 and Level 2 compliance.   
(You can check our nightly progress at )

We won't quite get to Level 1 and 2 compliance by the 0.4 release, but  
we think the next short release (or two very short releases) will  
provide the last features (search, query, events) required to make DNA  
a full-fledged JCR implementation and our "1.0" release.

Best regards,

Randall
