[Springframework-developer] RE: [Springframework-user] Release plan for 1.0 M2 and beyond

[Alef A. \(JTeam\) <al...@jt...>]

Juergen,

Schedule looks good to me. Especially the emphasis on documentation.

I haven't had much time lately, but I really like to get into this =
further.

IS there a prioritized list of documents/tutorials/faqs somewhere that =
needs to be addressed? If not, I think this would be a good idea.

Alef

Onderwerp: [Springframework-user] Release plan for 1.0 M2 and beyond


Dear Spring associates and followers,
=20
We're approaching our second 1.0 milestone release, scheduled for mid =
October. I would like to release it next weekend, around Sunday the =
19th, if there aren't any obstacles or objections.
=20
We've quite a lot of new functionality, for example:
=20
- multipart handling aka file upload support, both for DispatcherServlet =
and general use, with Commons FileUpload and COS implementations;
=20
- a MailSender API, with an optional extended JavaMailSender interface, =
plus JavaMail and COS implementations;
=20
- PropertyOverrideConfigurer and PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, allowing =
for push and pull style merging of properties files into bean property =
values of an application context;
=20
- the BeanPostProcessor hook, and reworked bean factory/application =
context integration;=20
=20
- PicoContainer style dependency checking and autowire options for the =
bean factory;
=20
- returning result sets from a stored procedure;
=20
- reworked Last-Modified support, Velocity support, remoting proxies, =
etc.
=20
(Details can be found in the current changelog.txt in CVS, and in the =
Javadocs.)
=20
I'd like to encourage everybody to give the new features a try via a CVS =
snapshot. Early feedback will help us to release M2 as stable as =
possible.
=20
-----
=20
Looking beyond M2, we do not have many planned 1.0 features left -- and =
all of them are already in the works:
=20
- source-level metadata, especially for transaction attributes;
=20
- Glue support, both accessing SOAP web services and exposing them =
(that's actually an original 1.1 goal that might make it into 1.0; 1.1 =
will probably see Axis support);
=20
- a Spring/Hibernate sample app (by myself);
=20
- docs, docs, docs!
=20
The last ones are probably the most important: I consider our Javadocs =
as mostly exemplary, they document almost all the subtle features -- but =
we still need more tutorials and feature guides. There's such a lot of =
useful stuff that's hard to find currently...
=20
If I have forgotten about one of our 1.0 goals, feel free to correct me. =
All of the above should be ready for 1.0 M3 in early to mid November -- =
at least in their first incarnation.
=20
The final way towards 1.0 should be about fine-tuning and proper =
documentation. I'm not aware of any more planned features beyond the M3 =
ones; so we should not need another milestone but be ready to schedule =
1.0 final for early December.
=20
Feedback of any kind is very welcome!
=20
Regards,
Juergen
