[Adobe-source-devel] Release Schedule and an Apology

[Sean P. <sp...@ad...>]

Everyone,
All of your contributions of late have been great - and I wanted to 
apologize for the lack of a "heads-up" on the 1.0.3 release. I was 
driving to get our internal and external releases in sync and neglected 
to inform all of you of the plan. It would have been good to get more 
of your changes into the final build.

Inside Adobe, ASL is now included in a significant number of projects 
and as such my team needs to be a bit more predicable on releases and 
build schedules.

What I would like to do is release the first Thursday of each month 
(this gives us the M-W to stabilize and F to address any issues we 
missed before the weekend). As the library matures we'll likely back 
off to releasing less often, but for now my feeling is once a month is 
about right.

We'll also be working to do more frequent builds and smoke tests - 
targeting (at a minimum) XCode 2 (gcc 4), MW 9.4, and Visual C++ 7.1. 
Any suggestion on getting this going would be appreciated (the ideally 
would be automated, continuous, builds on each submit - but we may 
start with nightly builds).

Thanks again,
Sean
