Hi John! Thanks for bringing this up. Planning a new release is a fantastic way to start the new year! There have been several small discussions about which should be the next release, and the consensus since 1.9.1 was to not release another 1.9.x and focus on 2.0.0. It is going to be a feature driven release instead of having a planned a hard date, and this is the must-have list of pending tasks. I've tried to estimate the amount of time required to complete them, to have a possible release date:
* Improve the compute image cache [1] (3 days). Patch is done [2] and there is just one live test to fix. * Add support for arbitrary CPU and RAM in the ComputeService [3] (1.5 weeks). * Promote DigitalOcean v2 (1 hour). It is just moving code from one repo to another [4], and it is a straightforward procedure. * Promote Docker (1h) * Promote ProfitBricks (3 days). There is a small live test to fix but IMO we can promote the provider without it. See [5]. * Promote Azure (1 week). There are several live test failures [6] that have to be addressed before promoting the provider. With this planning in mind, I'm pretty confident that we can have jclouds 2.0.0 released by the second week of February, as most of the items are already advanced work in progress, and the others are straightforward to implement. Anyway, feel free to discuss the list and/or estimated timing. This said, releases should be community driven, so if this does not work for you and there is a real community interest in having a 1.9.2 released before, I'll be happy to make that happen.
