Titan Roadmap Timeline (0.9, 1.0)

[Matthias Broecheler]

Hi guys,

there have been questions on the Titan roadmap and timeline in various threads, so let me address those here:

The original goal was to have a Titan 0.9 GA release once TP3 GA comes out, then consolidate feedback and release a 1.0 with that feedback integrated.

However, the incubation into Apache of TinkerPop has pushed back TP3 GA quite a bit and introduced uncertainty around its final availability.

Hence, we decided to use the 0.9 branch of development to track TP3 milestone releases and incorporate 0.5.x feedback at the same time. Once TP3 GA releases, we are going to prepare the Titan 1.0 release. In other words, there will be no 0.9 GA - we are going to 1.0 directly. 0.5.x will be our stable release branch until the 1.0.

So, when will Titan 1.0 be out? We don't know yet since we are dependent on TP3 GA. Please keep an eye on the gremlin-users mailing list for updates on that.

Best,

Matthias

Hello everybody,

just to clarify: We will continue to release 0.9 milestones releases. We are working toward 0.9 M2 at the moment and there will probably be an M3, etc until we get a TinkerPop3 GA from Apache. However, we will not be releasing a 0.9 GA and instead go directly to the 1.0. In other words, there will be NO stable 0.9 release. All the 0.9 releases are experimental development releases using the new TinkerPop 3 API.

Hence, you can play with those releases to get a feel for the new API but:

- DO NOT use any 0.9 milestone release in production

- DO NOT expect 0.9 milestone releases to be compatible (at the data or API layer) - things are changing pretty rapidly right now

- stay on 0.5.x for anything that gets deployed before Titan 1.0 comes out

- the first stable release using the new TinkerPop3 API is Titan 1.0

I hope that clarifies things,

Matthias
