What are the improvements to Forrest other than dispatcher
that warrant there being a 0.8 release ?


Lets make a dotpoint list here in email.

For my take on this see the (yawn) 0.8 roadmap. I'm not about to do it all again - others can add/remove as they see fit. I'll re-emerge when the discussion dies down and a vote is called.

Sorry, what I meant by that, is what improvements have already been made
to warrant a 0.8 release.


We could do a 0.7.1 release from the branch.
However it would be better to release 0.8 which
includes all those fixes and much more.

+1 to a 0.8 release when stuff is done
-0 to a 0.7.1 release

I agree with Ross.


Should Dispatcher, although as you suggest, not part of the 0.8 release program and not holding up a 0.8 release, be moved from Whiteboard into core/plugin at
the same time, now, or after ?


Anytime. However it takes someone to research the
side-effects, make a proposal, co-ordinate it.

My current opinion is that it should happen after
the release. Lets explore that topic in a separate
thread.

+1


One more time....

and the 0.8 roadmap in Jira ;-)

Ok, so there are 41 Issues that need clearing up, then we can release 0.8 yes ?

Looking at the first on the list , FOR-591, this is a Cocoon Issue (Cocoon-1574) and they are working on it, however the last comment was two months ago now. I have just added a comment to see how they are getting on, if no near time frame for resolving it then maybe this will have to be put back to a 0.9 release.

The next on the list, FOR-713, html-to-document no longer converts to XDoc. Was wondering if any conversions have been missed, perhaps references to html2document still exist in the processing, they do certainly in the docs, I will patch the docs.

Hmm, thinking about it before I carry on, I really should be adding these notes to the issues themselves.
Will do that later.
