[mat-dev] RE: Branching MAT 8.0 in SVN

["Tsvetkov, Krum" <krum.tsvetkov@xxxxxxx>]

We intend to create the tag (or branch) for the “old” 8.0 release next weak on Tuesday. We would put then this version on the update site as the latest 8.0 build.

Then we will continue in trunk the development of what would be the 1.0 release, meaning there will be some bigger changes introduced.

 

Are there any objections to do the split on Tuesday (19 Jan) – may be some unfinished fixes expected in 0.8?

Hi,

 

We expect that in the 1.0 release (we are targeting beginning of April) we will add some APIs. It is also a good point in time to reconsider our current APIs and adjust some of them if necessary.

 

Therefore I was thinking it will be good if we create a branch for our current version – 8.0. This is the one included in Galileo and slightly improved afterwards. We could use then the 8.0 as a more stable release, and fix there only some important bugs if necessary.

 

We can then increase the version numbers in trunk to something like 0.9 and make there the new development and necessary API changes.

 

So my question is – do you have any current activities / bugfixes for 8.0 which need to be finished before splitting the code? What will be a good time for the split?

 

BTW, I have created a bugzilla entry to track the API changes for 1.0: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=299371

Krum Tsvetkov
