The use of a blank Fix Version to mean “unscheduled” is problematic as there’s no way to tell a deliberately deferred issue from once which we forgot to schedule, or from the hundreds of historic 1.8 and older issues we have, or from version-less issues such as those related to the web site, so I was thinking that an explicit “Later version would let us proactively and unambiguously defer issues. Thinking about it, “2.1” and “3.0” labels might be better, for breaking and non-breaking changes, respectively. This way we’re using JIRA for release management as well as bug tracking. >> -- John > > BR > Andreas Lehmkühler > -- John >> >> On 10 Oct 2014, at 11:05, John Hewson <j...@jahewson.com> wrote: >> >>> Simon, >>> >>> Andreas has the best handle on this, but off the top of my head what we >>> need is to finish >>> making breaking API changes and for the code to have been stable for a >>> while before >>> making a 2.0 release. >>> >>> Improvements and fixes which still need breaking API changes include: >>> - Pattern rendering >>> - Pages resource caching (significant memory usage issues) >>> - Font embedding (particularly TTF) >>> - Parsing (Andreas?) >>> - Page Tree (needs completely re-writing) >>> - Text extraction on Java 8 (this might end up being a breaking change >>> to the sort) >>> >>> There’s probably more, such as work on Acroforms, and we need to have much >>> better >>> example code for 2.0 due to all the changes. >>> >>> This seems like a good time to explicitly try to make sure that we have >>> JIRA issues open >>> for all outstanding tasks, so that we can track how close 2.0 is to being >>> ready.
