Hi all!

We (at my company) are considering using the CDateTime widget for our
project.

However there some important questions that we need to clarify before
moving.

- What is the roadmap for the widget? I was not able to find it in the
home page.
- When will the stable (1.0) version be released (planned)?

Regards,

Patrick Machado

Hi Patrick,

I've taken over responsibility for CDateTime from its original author,
and I've been remiss in making new formal releases. There have been
some improvements checked into CVS, and I've been attempting to make a
real release for the last few days. (Corporate firewalls can be
obnoxious!)

There isn't going to be an official 1.0 release for quite some time,
since frankly nobody working on Nebula knows the official Eclipse
processes very well. I'm confident enough of CDateTime to use it myself
in a production application at my mid-sized company, but I am fairly
certain that there are edge cases waiting to bite me. There is also one
serious scalability problem on Windows:

210184: [CDateTime] Date Picker uses too many handles
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=210184

I am currently working to resolve that issue by absorbing the date
picker from the CalendarCombo project and adding the keyboard navigation
features it currently lacks. I also hope to add a few new features
before 1.0:

171731: Need ability to unset the date
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171731

201456: Feature Request: Month Picker
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201456

... and clean up as many of the outstanding bugs as possible:

As for what's happened already since the last release, here's a preview
of what the release notes will look like, assuming I can get the update
out tomorrow:
