RE: [Springframework-developer] M2

[Trevor C. <pr...@se...>]

Not crazy, otherwise I am too :)  Considering the maturity of the framework
(even before it became Spring) as well as the responsiveness/talent of the
core developers, we're treating Spring like internal code (not from an
ownership level but from a trust perspective).  Also, the previous "loose
freeze" for public api changes means that (for the most part) the core has
been pretty stable from an api-user's view for quite a while now.

We're using the CVS version for our live app, and we too have found it very
stable.  We've also done a significant amount of testing of our main app
(which in turn exercises a large portion of Spring).  I've found a few minor
bugs which have been fixed (by myself or others had already noticed them).
The only outstanding bug we've found which affects our code is the nested
bean problem (see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3212995&forum_id=2840
1) but we worked around that by temporarily removing the object equals from
a few objects (until we have time to look at/fix the bug). We're also using
"latest/greatest" features such as the multipart stuff and are now
implementing Juergen's new "multiple context/message files" (will eliminate
the huge ant task we have to assemble a single xml file from modularized
pieces).

Continuously testing CVS snapshots (actually we're developing phase 2 of our
project against latest CVS snapshots. Kinda crazy, isn't it? :-)
I can report it's VERY stable!!!

All,

Especially now that we're likely to get more downloads following the TSS
article, it's essential that M2 is stable.

Juergen suggested a few days ago that we all test a CVS snapshot in our
apps. I second this. Can I also suggest a lockdown on core functionality
until the M2 release (except for bug fixes and backward-compatible changes).
This doesn't apply to attributes or anything that's an evolving area.

Regards,
Rod
