On webware-discuss I already announced that I want to release the next Webware version 0.9.3 very soon. If anybody has suggestions or patches or bug reports that I should take into account, please let me know.
What about the idea of releasing a 1.0 version without much change if the 0.9.3 turns out to be stable? One big change I wanted to make is to require Python 2.3 or 2.4. This would allow us to remove a lot of old garbage and code many things simpler. It would be an opportunity to really clear out the code base. The question is should we do this before or after 1.0 because these refactoring will certainly bring some instability again. (Unfortunately, Webware's few tests do not cover very much.) The next big change could be the transition to more contemporary coding style and tools, naming conventions, using setuptools and getting rid of Webware's peculiar plug-in architecture. This would break backward compatibility more or less so it should be done in a new major version as well. I'm also not sure whether I or anybody else will have enough time and energy to ever tackle this. For new projects, it seems to make more sense to use one of the nice contemporary web frameworks. So it may be better to release the 1.0 now than never. Thoughts and suggestions concerning future versions, anyone? -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
