So, does this mean then any 2.x.x release will have *all* of the features of the 1.x.x ? Anything not in there should be deprecated, right?
If not, then it is not really linear as most software projects are providing versions that have new features on top of the support for previous ones. I am hard pressed to think of any software release ever where a feature that folks want ONLY exists in a previous version. I might be off base here as the trunk might represent the ALL of the features in this branch???? So if 2.x.x will have security, append (and all of the other goodies that are in 1.x.x) then it makes sense otherwise it is just as confusing but just re-labled. Sorry, trying to get a grasp of all of this seems to be moving quickly and not sure if the branch / trunk is merging or just being re-labeled for * marketing* purposes. If I am having confusion then confusion will come further from folks trying to get into Hadoop also. Just saying. All of the good work that everyone has done is awesome, just trying to understand some straight line path of releases. This is not a new idea and typical of what the software community as a whole expects (speaking for the 99%). If 0.23 trunk release is a representation of the branch release 0.20.20X.X with all of the patches there, then fantastic but have not heard that mentioned (and honestly it is very hard to keep track). any clarity would be helpful, thanx On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 1:43 AM, Eric Baldeschwieler <eri...@hortonworks.com > wrote: > +1 (non-binding) > > Let's ship 1.0.0 off 0.20.205.* > > I think this will be great for the project. > > Arun, since you called the vote, can you clarify exactly what version of > the 20.2xx.x line will be renamed or originally released as exactly what > 1.0.x version?
