Yes, the assumption is that 1.0 will be out very soon, before 0.15 line is ready, and that 0.15 can become 1.1 . Do you think that assumption won't hold true ? (In previous emails in this thread, I talk about reasons why this assumption is reliable). I agree that it does not make sense to release 1.0 as proposed in this thread if that does not hold true. > Another concern is that, the proposed release of 1.0 is a subset of of > Hive's functionality, and for major releases users are expecting major > improvement in functionality as well as stability. Mutating from 0.14.1 > release seems falling short in that expectation. Every release of hive has been a subset of tip of the trunk (we branch for release while trunk moves ahead), and super set of changes of every previous release. So every release so far has had a subset of functionality of hive trunk branch (if that is what you are referring to). With the 1.0 proposed based on 0.14 maintenance branch, this still holds true. (Again, this is with the assumption you called out about about timeline of 1.0 and 0.15). -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
