Hi Vincent
Can we have a quit poll about version numbering. We have had
discussions
about this in the past and I'd like to come to a conclusion now that
the
release is getting closer.
The proposal that was made earlier was this:
1. Create an Doxia 1.0 release from the current doxia-1.0-alpha-x
branch
2. Release the current trunk as version 1.1 (currently labeled as
1.0-beta-1 in JIRA)
One reason for this change would be to get out of the alpha/beta mess.
+1 If both 1.0-alpha-x and 1.0-beta are viable and stable on their own.
It would also align version numbers nicely with Maven and the Site
Plugin.
We would the have two parallel tracks:
Track one: Maven 2.0.x + Doxia 1.0.x + Site Plugin 2.0.x
Track two: Maven 2.1.x + Doxia 1.1.x + Site Plugin 2.1.x
This also ties in with the Doxia Release Plan [1]
In general I am not a fan of aligning version number with product you
do not control. In part because you loose control of the version
numbers. That said, I do not have a problem with aligning a branch to
a version of another product, like you describe above.
I will have some time off from work during the holidays and will be
able
to help.
WDYT?
