I
think that this is something akin to a milestone.
ATF Developers, >From this email, it seems
that 0.2.3 has many new features and is not just a bug fix release. This leads
to a number of issues:
- The Eclipse terminology for releases, bug fixes, and milestones is:
- n.p.q Mx = "n" changes if there is a major, API incompatible release;
"p" changes if there is a major, but API compatible release; "q" changes
if there is a bug fix release; and "x" changes as the development
milestones are reached (M1, M2, M3, etc).
- Perhaps your release is really a milestone and thus is "0.2 M3"
instead of "0.2.3" ?
- If this is a real release (not a milestone) with many new features (not
just bug fixes) then it _must_ go through a Release Review. The project may
not produce releases without a Review.
- There is an exception to the Reviews-required for bug fix releases,
but bug fix releases are never described as "quite a few changes ...
(...move to [new version of the Platform])".
Please
clarify the situation here: is this a milestone described with incorrect
terminology? is this a bugfix release with no major new features? is this a
full-featured release?
Thank you, Bjorn
We're currently
winding down and hope to have the next release out soon. There are
quite a few changes from the last milestone (in particular, the move to
Eclipse 3.3). We are putting together a full list of changes, which
will be available with the
release.
