[ecf-dev] proposal: ECF 3.7

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Proposal for general discussion:  ECF releases 3.7.0 in September 2013.

What would this minor release consist of you say?   Well, here's what I 
know about:

1) New bundle/API:  org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.servlet  [1]
2) A number of bug fixes/robustness improvements in remote 
services...e.g. [2]
3) New 'timeservice' OSGi remote services example...along with custom 
rest-based provider [3]
4) I believe Markus has been working with dnssd discovery provider, so 
that could be included as well
5) Any other things that committers and/or contributors have been working on

Also...we've been requested [4] to use a more recent version of 
httpcomponents [4] so that only one version appears in the luna repo.  
This is not a lot of work (IP requests, small changes to our build, 
testing), but since we need to do release builds...

In any event...comments/thoughts/other things that people either have 
been working on or would like to get into such a release would be 
appreciated.  I agree the above would not constitute the largest minor 
release we've done, but I think it does justify a minor release (i.e. 
review, etc).  And having the timing be such that it could be part of 
Kepler maintenance release wouldn't hurt...in terms of visibility, 
promotion, etc.

Thanks,

Scott
