A line in the sand for upcoming releases and milestones

[David Pollak]

Folks,

I drew a line in the sand for upcoming releases and milestones at: https://liftweb.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/milestones

The cadence seems to be a milestone release every other week (a 2.1 milestone at the beginning of each month and a 3.0 milestone in the middle of each month).  I expect that the 2.x branch will be a timed release (a real release every quarter), so there's 2 months of active development and 1 month of testing against the M2 aka RC.

I don't know what the 3.0 release date looks like and I think the release date will evolve as we get a better understanding of what 3.0 is going to become.

Thanks,

David

I may have missed this, but is it still the plan that 2.x is mostly
bug fix (maybe with an occasional backport) and still supports Scala
2.7.x (and 2.8 from 2.1) and 3.0 is Scala 2.8 only and where new
development will happen?

2.1 is a little more than that.  It's also new features that don't break any existing APIs.  But the new features are simple extensions of existing features rather than a significant departure.  Put concretely, I'm expecting the likes of FourSquare to stick with 2.x and for Novell to move to the 2.x branch.  And they'll likely have feature requests that we can accommodate.
 

and 3.0 is Scala 2.8 only and where new
development will happen?

3.0 is sbt, Scala 2.8+, and where the fun stuff will happen.
