| [ptp-dev] Next PTP release - 2.2 vs. 3.0? |
We've gone back and forth regarding what to call the next release: 2.2 or 3.0 (so far we have called it 2.2 in the wiki, for lack of decisiveness :) )
I propose we pin this down, and call it 3.0, for the following reasons:
1. It will require an upgrade to the Eclipse release (3.5/Galileo) as well as the CDT release (6.0 - which goes up a whole point from 5.x)
2. Changing the major release number when the underlying Eclipse/CDT changes would make it easier to distinguish which releases go with which
3. maturity and usability of RDT for remote usage will strengthen
4. More resource managers coming as well
For some history
PTP 1.0 - Eclipse 3.1, CDT 3.0
PTP 1.1 - Eclipse 3.2 (Callisto), CDT 3.1
PTP 2.0 - Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), CDT 4.0
PTP 2.1 - Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), CDT 5.0
proposed:
PTP 3.0 - Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo), CDT 6.0
So actually, this fits the pattern of bumping the major release number every two Eclipse releases :-)
For timeframe, so far in monthly PTP meetings we've estimated this for the August/September timeframe.
Comments?
