Re: [Gwt-openlayers-devl] [Gwt-openlayers-users] GWT-OpenLayersv0.5, let's please do a release...

[Couzic M. <mik...@gm...>]

Well, it is true there has been many new features since 0.4, but I agree
with Lukas, version 1.0 carries a meaning of "Mission Accomplished" and
GWT-OpenLayers doesn't cover completely the API of OpenLayers yet. It's not
a big deal for us contributors, we have the development environment all set
and it's fast and easy (well, most of the time ^^) for us to just implement
what's missing when we need it, but a new user would expect a 1.0 version to
have all the functionnality he would get by coding directly to the JS API.
All in all, I don't think a 0.x version is problematic, I believe users will
look at the dynamism of the community more than the version numbers, which
are pretty much arbitrary after all. And the project doesn't look so bad on
