[Springframework-developer] Target date for Spring 1.0 final

[<jue...@we...>]

Dear Spring developers,
=20
After a few minor bugfixes and modifications after 1.0 RC1, we are now =
ready to concentrate on 1.0 final. So I suggest *March 1st* as target =
date for the 1.0 final release! I won't be worried if some parts of the =
docs aren't completely finished by then, as we can always complete them =
afterwards.

As discussed in other recent mails, we should concentrate on fixing bugs =
and completing documentation. Minor feature enhancements are OK from my =
point of view; however, they should be delayed till 1.1 if they are =
beyond trivial. We should avoid the need for an RC2 if possible; after =
all, there's a life after Spring 1.0 final :-)

Some things remain to be clarified for 1.0, namely the AOP Alliance =
version that we ship, and updating to the most current Commons =
Attributes snapshot. All other dependencies are up-to-date as far as I =
see; updating to Ant 1.6.1 is hardly worth mentioning. On the occasion, =
it would be good if CGLIB 2.0 went final in time.

We should also avoid double documentation in the distribution, i.e. =
remove the separate HTML documents in the docs directory as soon as all =
the info in there is also available in the reference documentation. I'm =
happy if someone does a cleanup in there promptly; I intend to browse =
through it again myself before the actual release.

So, next stop: 1.0 final - March 1st!

Juergen
