Hi Guys,
Henri B. and I have finally decided about the MidCOM 2.0 release roadmap.
I will freeze the current MidCOM codebase on Friday, releasing 2.0.0-RC1 at
that time. I will fork off a branch in CVS at that point, which is used to
finish stabilizing the 2.0 strain without hampering development in the main
trunk.
From that point on, only bugfixes are allowed into the 2.0 stream of
MidCOM. Anybody commiting fixes to the main trunk is strongly asked to copy
the commits to the 2.0 tree also. CVS' branch merging feature is a great
help here, allowing you to do this nearly automatic. (This now finally
works since we got rid of Repligard *g*.)
Two exceptions to this rule are in-effect:
1. The component n.n.discussion is broken at the moment, it will be synced
with the state on m-p.org before release.
2. Stuff around the final release package, including midcom-template and a
transitional midcom.xml that will remove the db-code part of MidCOM.
The 2.0.0 release is scheduled for Monday, 2004-12-20, so we'll have a
Marry Christmas release then. :)
Everybody is invited to test the FS-Midcom Release Candidate. I will try to
update it as often as possible for me, so that you are not required to work
with CVS checkouts if you don't want to.
