| [mat-dev] MAT Development after the 1.0.0 Release |
|
Hi, Some days ago we went through the Bugzilla entries with
Andrew and had a discussion on the next steps after the 1.0.0 release is out
and our contribution to Helios is done. This is the current proposal. Feedback
is appreciated. 1) Plan for next releases 1.0.1 – we should work on some of the bugs which were
recently reported for 1.0 or which we haven’t fixed before and publish shortly
a bugfix release 1.0.1 1.1.0 – we should stick to the Helios SPs time schedule
and try to do a 1.1 release with SP1 (September) 2) Development code line For the 1.0.0 release there is a tag in SVN, so far we haven’t
branched anything. The idea is to continue to work in trunk for the moment and
do only fixes needed for the bugfix release 3) API tooling Please enable the API tooling and use the 1.0.0 version from
20 May as a baseline. We should make sure that there are no API changes in the
bugfix release. 4) Bugs to be fixed for 1.0.1 (proposal) These seemed to be bugs that we have to solve shortly, or
looked as bugs that we can solve shortly. If some of the changes requires some
refactoring or too-much effort we should leave it for the next release. 312594: SnapshotImpl instance kept by ExecutionJob after

bugfixing, and we would like to do it for the next release. If we can manage
this is another question J 268458: Support and expose stackframe information provided

ConcurrentHashMap https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=302934 6) Update project plan I will take care to reflect these in the project metadata
(currently there is not next release described there) and in the project plan. 7) Build Currently we still have two build jobs at
builds.eclipse.org. I think it makes sense to focus on one build/build
technology, make it stable, and make it do all we need. We will focus on the
maven/tycho build and try to get it in a good shape. Krum Tsvetkov |
