Hi, all, It was one month since 4.0.1 release. And I noticed some some great works are going to be delivered soon. e.g. the IA2 framework from Steve, the Mac 64-bit support from Herbert, and Windows Patch mechanism from Andre.
So I'm thinking, is it a good time to start the 4.1 plan now? We should deliver those great value to our users through a formal release ASAP! And IMO, even only the 3 items above can be enough for a release to be called 4.1. We also want to do OOXML improvement by integrating OSBA patches, and enhance user experience like in-place Input Field, and many other things... While, I think we can keep the continuous improvement across releases. From the record breaking download number since 4.0 and 4.0.1, I feel that keeping regular release is very important to response to our users, attract more new comers, and bring this product to success. So I suggest we start the 4.1 plan now, and set a target date. Since 4.0 was in July, 4.0.1 was in Oct, I feel some time in 1Q will be a good time for 4.1. I suggest to update the 4.1 planning wiki[1] and: (1) Set the target date. (2) Clean up the planning list, starting from leaving only the active items, and moving the rest to project backlog[2]. Any suggestion/comments? [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1+Release+Planning [2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Project+Blog - Shenfeng (Simon)
