I've been having some twitter exchanges with JBQ and reading around the various articles and I think I understand what donut is so I'm throwing it out to the list so we can clear anything up.
There is not one Donut but two. (Mmmmm... Donuts) One is the codename for the next release (i.e. donut release), One is the branch in the git repo (i.e. donut tree). The feature set and version number for the donut release has not been fixed. The features in the donut tree and candidates for the donut release but are not guaranteed to be part of the donut release. As for a donut release version number, JBQ seems to think that "System V" is unlikely but anything is possible :). So; If you're using one of the donut sdks from the open source build you are using the donut tree and so it has candidate features, you are not using the donut release (because the shape and sprinkles for donut release have not been finalise), so some features may not make the cut. The other thing to remember is that OEMs and carriers get their hand in so even if a feature in donut tree does make it into donut release the OEM or carrier may remove it before consumers get a chance to take a bite. Does anyone think this isn't right? Al. P.S. As I understand things Romains' comment about "donut is not 2.0" should be read as "At the point in time when the comment was made donut tree does not contain just contain features for a donut release, and 2.0 has not been decided upon as the version number for the donut release. In the future the donut release may be given the 2.0 version number, but that has not been decided upon so *at this point in time* donut is not 2.0". -- * Written an Android App? - List it at http://andappstore.com/ * ====== Funky Android Limited is registered in England & Wales with the company number 6741909.
