I am very pro the 1.0 moniker on the next release. However I would put a few key criteria on it. Without these things I would be a strong -1. Here's my list:
1. A single build system and no trace of a duplicate/confusing second system (e.g. cmake everywhere) 2. No claims of support for anything that does not have a passing cross test 3. TBinaryProtocol support everywhere 4. A published specification for the RPC protocol 5. 0 or close to 0 open bug jira issues (there are over 300 right now) Each of these is tied to this statement at the top of the Thrift home page: "The Apache Thrift software framework, for scalable cross-language services development, combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, JavaScript, Node.js, Smalltalk, OCaml and Delphi and other languages." I would expect a 1.0 project to have few if any known bugs, to be fairly simple to build, to be specified and to do what is says (cross platform rpc), which must be born out in tests. A 1.0 release is a great goal. --Randy On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 6:27 AM James E. King III <jk...@apache.org> wrote: > > I'd like us to consider the next version number to be 1.0.
