Excellent. If we're going to present it as a larger release, than almost certainly JAXEnter will want to cover it, possibly InfoQ as well. We just need to ask ourselves what do we want them to write about and make sure we have some announcement text that clearly communicates it. Maybe some text talking about the JAX-RS distro and maybe 2 other highlights. I'll send a note to Oracle and see what requirements we might have for adding a certified distro with JAX-RS. -David > > 2012/9/19 David Blevins <david.blev...@gmail.com> > >> >> On Sep 19, 2012, at 12:46 PM, David Blevins wrote: >> >>> >>> On Sep 19, 2012, at 8:45 AM, Jean-Louis MONTEIRO wrote: >>> >>>> Hello guys, >>>> >>>> Was looking to release notes and all the work we did since last release >>>> 1.0.0. >>>> I was wondering if we could jump to a 1.5.0? >>>> >>>> IMHO, the gap between both is really big (large improvements, >> classloading >>>> changes, ear support, lot of bugfixes, and lot of new features) and >> require >>>> also a gap in versioning. >>>> >>>> Moreover, I think it's great for the community and for external users to >>>> reflect all those changes in the version number. >>>> >>>> Thoughts? >>>> Anyone against the idea? >>> >>> I'm fine with the idea. >> >> Let me rephrase and add some caveats :) I'm fine with the idea provided >> we can draft up an exciting enough announcement.
