Re: [Springframework-developer] Preparing for Spring 1.1 final

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

I like the idea of RC2, if there's any doubt about the current codebase...

While this is strictly speaking not backwards-compatible, I doubt that anyone relies on the previous behavior. Neither the DTD nor the docs hinted at the exact behavior either, so I guess we're free to strictly define it now.

We might want to get some further feedback on these recent changes, to catch any design/definition issues.

I want to avoid a quick 1.1.1 fix release just because of things that slipped into 1.1 final. In particular, APIs and semantics need to be fully backwards-compatible from 1.1 final on; we can't easily fix naming issues or the like after 1.1 final anymore.

I'd like to have some review there before releasing and supporting them. Furthermore, Seth's form tags for JSP are not ready yet either. So I suggest to release all of those macros at a later point of time: either in a 1.1 point release or in 1.2 RC1 (which is scheduled for late October). What do you think?
