[Jeuclid-devel] Release plan....

[Max B. <ma...@be...>]

Dear JEuclid developers,

A few things have happened since the last release - I've added a  
little functionality with the foprep application, and I've also  
prepared a patch for better fop integration [1]. I've also updated  
the XXE plugin [2], and did some work to support DOM Source and Result.

Also, as you may notice it is already July, and the end of June  
passed without the promised release.

I would therefore suggest the following plan:

- Release 2.9.8 (3.0 rc) now ( = this week or early next week)
- create a new branch "3.0" (or something similar)
- trunk will become "unstable" (there are some api breaking changes  
that i currently have in mind, more on that in a later mail), maybe  
version "3.1", leading up to "3.2"
- the 3.0 brach will be used for minor bugfixes only
- about 2-3 weeks after the rc-release 3.0 final will be released.

It will be recommended to use 3.0 stable for all external projects  
which depend on JEuclid (at least until 3.1 becomes somewhat stable  
again), plugins which are part of the svn system may use the newer  
apis, as breaks here will be detected more easily.

Please comment.
