Re: 2.1? Stable Software Needed

2001-07-23 Thread Davanum Srinivas

Guys,

C2-Beta2 is out today. So please try it out. If you see a problem, please send a bug 
report using
bugzilla (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla). I hope you know that this an open-source 
effort. The
Development team is just a set of people who work on Cocoon on their own time 
because they
believe in it. If want to help you are very welcome. Any patches, docs are really 
appreciated. 

Thanks,
dims

I think you also have missed my comments on the 2.0 vs. 2.1
releases.  Cocoon 2.0 beta 2 has been released--with many
bug fixes, and some usability enhancements.  The Cocoon 2.0
CVS repository is actively maintained.  We are actively pursuing
Cocoon 2.0 final.  The 2.1 release has a number of experimental
features that need to be tested and finalized--something that
the 2.0 branch did not want to be encumbered with.

You will find that Cocoon 2.0 beta 2 release a much smoother
and more stable product than the beta 1 release.

Re: 2.1? Stable Software Needed

2001-07-22 Thread Frans Thamura

Who say the commercial software can be more stable
than open source??? I think We are talking software
development process.

If the cocoon team agree to make it beta forever, that
great.. look ICQ, always beta.. and still stable. So
for next release there will be cocoon 2-2b1, 2-3b2
etc..

I think the cocoon team will agree to finish the last
step, QA.. to make it more stable..or launch it.. I
think this cocoon 2-0 is stable enough.. and keep
update it.. like 2-0-1 etcc.

I am following the PHP4 Development, since Beta 1, and
In the day they launch PHP4 (amazing, after that the
php.net is full traffic)..the team wrote something
like this.. we launch the php4 because it is stable
enought, and after 1 year, there still an update.. But
several of the mailinglist member wrote: it is not
stable enought etc...bla..blaa.blaa.. you can read
their archive..

I think stable day is good for a milestone, for next
step of development. Except we agree to used it as
beta forever.

 I would like to point out that the cocoon team has
 done a good job of
 balancing feature requests with development release
 time. If what you need
 is stable and mature software perhaps you'd like to
 consider using Cocoon
 1.X series and see if it does what you need (which
 is what I did) while
 features are completed and the code matures enough
 to meet your
 requirements.
 
 Or, more bluntly, use commercial software if it
 gives you the more stable
 and usable system that you're looking for.

Cocoon 1.8.3 is a stable and usable system, which has many real-world
installations (see the website for examples). If Cocoon2 is too beta for
you, you can always use 1.8.3, but you have to keep in mind that there is
no backwards compatibility. If you're going to switch to Cocoon2 later on,
there's bound to be some or even a lot of porting.
