As there seems to be a majority supporting a release candidate I'd like to find out what exactly a possible RC would be so that we are all on the same page: - is it feature complete? IMHO, yes - is the api stable? IMHO, yes - do we create a branch or just release from a tag? IMHO, we should branch, especially if the api is meant to be stable - we won't push the RC to maven central but would provide a possibility to download the RC. This is a common approach in other apache projects How long do we wait until releasing the final 2.0? We might define some rule/goal for that. What exactly will be the difference between the RC and the final release? (there are not that much open tickets left, so that I presume it won't be that big) I'm in favour of a final release without an RC. Our release process is quite lean so that it wouldn't hurt to much to release a 2.0.x bugfix release.
