Hi, This sounds sweet to my hears of "consuming" user. I know that I can contribute and so on, but it might be interesting for you to hear where the frictions spots are for average Joes like me that might just use the framework and not develop it. Everything allowing "tagged" releases is positive. 1.0 releases are great but even RCx are better than a build number. The pace of build numbers is just to high and the breaking changes are difficult to spot. This would also make using the contrib projects easier as they could link to releases. As an example I had to dig into the svn log of viewComponent contrib project to find a version that would work with RC3 of MR, build it and link my project to my own build.(Thank you FOSS that I can do this)
Another point, where I might be wrong, correct me on it. I usually understand "RC" as stable API vs. "preview" where the API can change a bit. Such a distinction would make things more predictable. The pace of releases with breaking changes should not be to high in project that came i RC, something like 6 months seems reasonable for the maintenance of both the framework and the app' using the framework(ex pushing bug fixes primary to the released version not to the next version with breaking changes). I use the opportunity to address a big thank to all the contributors, Cheers, Dom On Oct 28, 6:38 pm, hammett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > After a quick discussion the PMC decided to make a few changes to the > Castle Project: > > - Projects will be split > - Each project will have a leader (positions open to any committer) > > By that we intent to fix our release debt. as having each project > running individually allow us to release and document each one of them > without dragging/waiting for others. > For now that would right away allow us to release > - DynamicProxy 2.0.1 > - Castle ActiveRecord > - Components/Services > > Leaving MicroKernel/Windsor(+ Facilities) and MonoRail for a bit later. > > I hope this change in direction - long overdue - will cause a very > positive impact on the .net community. > > Thanks > > -- > Cheers, > hammetthttp://hammett.castleproject.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Castle Project Users" group.
