Hello all,
you might have seen that we have outlined the next release of
Eclipse Paho, 1.3, and aligned it with the next simultaneous
release of Eclipse, Oxygen:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.paho
We have had a sequence of Paho releases that have been associated
with Eclipse simultaneous releases, so it seems like a good
opportunity to do this again. We could have had 1.1.0 associated
with Mars but I didn't realize that they didn't have to be exactly
simultaneous at the time. So we can release 1.3 before the Oxygen
date in June if we choose to. As always, there is a month lead up
time where the project plan and legal reviews take place, so the
work should be substantially completed in May.
Breaking Changes - Version 2?
Roger asked some time ago whether we could consider a version 2.0
release, as he had some breaking changes he was considering for the
Python client. James is reviewing a pull request this week for the
Java client which could also result in breaking changes, and it
would be good to allow this to happen for individual Paho
applications. As no-one really takes any notice of the Paho release
number, then it seems to me that the Paho applications should be
able to decide for themselves what their version numbers ought to
be. So the Python and Java clients could move to 2.0 within the
Paho 1.3 release for instance, or release both 2.0 and 1.3 branches.
I'll check with Benjamin to see what he thinks our options are.
Proposed Release Contents
- first formal release of mqtt-spy in Paho (Kamil, I need to speak
to you!)
- first formal release of Tomoaki's MQTT-SN gateway
- it would be great to get a release of the C++ client (Frank?)
- updates/fixes to other clients/applications:
- C client (I have a raft of outstanding work to look at)
- embedded clients for both MQTT and MQTT-SN
- Java/Android
- Python? Go? M2MQTT?
For all committers, please let us know what you would like to
include, or any other suggestions you might have. James or I will
contact you individually to make sure we know your plans, if you
don't get in contact with us first :-)
Thanks!
