 Tuscany runtime can be configured as a single node SCA domain or with
 nodes distributed across multiple instances.

 Tuscany SCA supports running standalone with Jetty or Tomcat based runtimes
 or running as a standard web application. It also supports Geronimo.

And now Websphere too, right ?

integration with Apache Ode.

+1 to mention ODE

BPEL and XQuery (OSGI ???) should be listed as expiremental as there
are still things to be done there to claim full support.



- Include link to open CSA?

I think it is quite important to have a high level list of features

Everyone can then see what is in a release. So to the does it go in
RELEASE_NOTES? question. I am proposing we take the high level feature
bullet points and add something along the lines of.

Features
===
- A clear set of SPIs intended to be stable over future releases
-- core-spi
-- assembly
-- interface
-- ???



I added an initial list of SPI package names to the release notes (under 
revision r538821). Unless I missed anything, these are our only SPIs, 
everything else is implementation internals and should not be used (or 
used at your own risks).



- Extensions now loaded via Java service mechanism
-- Refactored extensions to use new SPIs (see below)

- Improved Package/Class naming consistency across modules

- New assembly model implementation taking into account SCA 1.0 artifacts
-- Data duplication between assembly model and runtime reduced


more than reduced, actually eliminated :)



- Simple single process domain support
-- Contributions support to scope items being deployed into the runtime

- Maven and Ant base sample builds in the binary distribution

- Support for all of Java Annotations and API Specification V1.0 apart 
from

-- ???

- Implementation Extensions
-- Java
-- Script supporting (Ruby, Python, Groovy, JavaScript)

- Binding Extensions
-- Axis2
-- RMI
-- JSONRPC

-Databinding Extensions
-- Axiom
-- JAXB
-- SDO

- Hosting Extension
-- Embedded
-- Tomcat
-- Jetty
-- RMI

Do you think that is too much? This is the kind of thing I actively 
look for
in a release notes. I.e I want to know what's changed. However I do 
see your
point about cluttering the RELEASE_NOTES so how about we instigate a 
CHANGES

file and put this info there.  I would also like to see the information
somewhere up on the web site so I'll try and work that in when we get 
to the

point of putting the release artifacts up.

Cool, this is a nice list and structure I think.

Re: 0.90 release notes

Nice list. Just to be clear. When you say, for example,

org.apache.tuscany.sca.assembly


Do you mean just the interfaces in this package or do you include interfaces
from any of the subpackages? For example,

org.apache.tuscany.sca.assembly.builder

Re: 0.90 release notes

2007-05-16 Thread Simon Laws

Having to think about release notes kicked off a thought. I've been back to
the wiki and reorganized the Wish List [1] and Next Release [2] pages a
little to help us do this next time round.

I've translated the notes we made on the precursor to these pages [3]. I
would like to add a feature list to the release notes. I'd also like to
repeat it on the web site under Current Release or Release 0.90 or
whatever.

Before I knock it into you release notes page can everyone take a look and
see what is missing. It would also be good to get a feel of what areas of
the 1.0 pec API we don't do a full job on yet. I've created a list of
annotations and API from the Java spec just to jog people's memory. I don't
propose we put that list in the feature list, just a note of what isn't
there yet so if you could mark on what isn't yet I can have a quick scout
through the code to check first thing in the morning.

This is great, the current release notes really was just intended to prompt
others to contribute content. I do think we should bare in mind that release
notes are an opportunity to advertise and not necessarily to point out all
the gory details of whats there and whats not yet supported - especially for
a pre-1.0 release. This is a document most people vaguely interested in the
Tuscany release will likely read but most of them will lose interest quickly
if its too long, so I think concise and positive and helpful. Could we have
another document, something like spec compliance and features list, if we
really must list out all the gory details of whats there and what doesn't
work?
