Hi all,
A lot of people are asking on forum and other media about when will
be available the next release of SWTBot with support for Juno.
Current status of Juno support is here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385527 . As you'll see
there are still some issues, so the migration is not "done" in my
opinion. However it looks like the bugs currently open for Juno
don't meet a lot of enthusiasm from SWTBot contributors (including
myself) since they are not critical and don't seem to be a
requirement for SWTBot to be usable now.
So in order to give to the community the heartbeat it's asking, we
could make a release of the current status of SWTBot. It will
include some Juno fixes and the Test Recorder & Generator.
Hopefully this release will bring more interest from new
contributors on the remaining bugs, and those bugs will be fixed for
a maintenance release.
What do you think about this idea?
My vote:
I'm not that comfortable with the idea of releasing something that
we know has 2 (minor) bugs, but I'm also not comfortable at all with
the idea that community has asked for a release for a long time.
Overall, there is no regression, some fixes and a cool new feature;
I think we can ignore those few remaining bugs and drive a release
with the current state of SWTBot. So +1.
