Re: next GL version?

I guess I'd like to flesh out these ideas for event delivery (the EventBus). It seems that many (most?) of the problems that are coming up on the user list these days are due to event ordering, etc. I don't know that we're going to find a perfect solution, but it might be the biggest need. Obviously this would be a 2.0 thing because I'm sure some API's would break.

Hey Glaziers,

now that 1.8 is real, I just wanted to ask for your opinion
what the next version should be (1.9 vs. 2.0) ?

If we're directly heading for a 2.0 release, we should probably
create a 1.x branch for bugfixes.

Initial ideas for a 2.0 could be:
- drop migration kit and other deprecated code
- drop JDK 1.4 support (Sun J2SE 1.4.x EOL is October 30th, 2008)
- fully exploit JDK 1.5 capabilities throughout the code base
- make other changes that could break compatibility but are worth
the effort, for example removing automatic proxy wrapping in the
model adapter classes
...

On the other side, a 1.9 release could also make sense to
- finish some work that's not yet completed (providing deleted element for example)
- add minor new features without breaking compatibility
- review code base and deprecate things we want to change or drop in 2.0

What do you think?

Holger
