Stef,
My initial reaction to 1.1's approaching release was "where are the
callbacks/aliens?" Sig appears to be offering some competition to Alien. If
he/we can provide a comprehensive and convenient way to make calls, do
callbacks, additionally put calls onto other OS threads, and do all of this on
the three major platforms, then it could easily turn out the best option for
external interfacing.
I am happy to see us take time to get it right. My only concern would be that
we not fall into a pattern of leaving out the difficult things that we set out
to accomplish with a given release. Since 1.1 is approaching releasable form
and FFI/Alien/NB is unclear at present, a release makes sense.
Short answer: sure, whatever you say :)
Bill

Subject: [Pharo-project] plan for 1.1
Hi guys
we were discussing how we can handle 1.1 and the flux of good changes.
Here is the proposal:
we take two or three weeks to let people try their code in 1.1 beta
we integrate fixes that are important or easy
then we wait one week
then we launch 1.1 rc and 1.2 unstable
does this plan look ok for you?
The key point is that we want to avoid to have a pile of changes pending
because they can rot easily.
Stef
