RE: [birt-pmc] Draft BIRT 2.3 SR1 Development Plan
|
Mike,
Thanks for the comments. See below for
responses.
Paul.
Here are my comments on the plan. I also notified my
internal "BIRT Interest" list and will forward any comments sent to me.
As this is a bug fix release, why are we
not supporting downward compatibility with V2.3? It seems to me that
anything built for V2.3 SR1 should work with 2.3 to facilitate field upgrades.
The plan specifically says that "binary plugins for 2.3 SR1 will not be
usable with 2.3"., and there are no guarantees for APIs and source code.
If a bug fix requires introducing API or plugin incompatibility, then
maybe that fix should be held until V2.5. It needs to be easy for people
to migrate to this version and maintain a mixed version environment.
[PRC] We have not supported downward compatibility in any release in
the past. This is pretty hard to guarantee -- for example, if we fix a bug
in 2.3 SR1 that enables an extension or API to work correctly in 2.3 SR1, this
would not work by definition in 2.3. Note that the issue is not related to
features (since the SR1 release is focused on bug fixing) but any code
change.Windows 2000 is listed
for the framework but not the runtime. Is this correct, and do we still
need to support it at all? [PRC] Good
point. At this stage, I don't think we need to support Windows
2000 at all. Abhisek will remove this from the
plan. The IBM Java SDK
is listed for the runtime but not the framework. Shouldn't the framework
be supported on IBM SDK 5.0? [PRC] Also good point. Abhisek
will add support for the IBM SDK 5.0 for the framework to the
plan. Mike

Team,
We have posted the draft BIRT 2.3 SR 1 plan on the
BIRT Wiki for review and feedback. Check it out at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/BIRT_Project_Plan_for_Release_2.3.1.
We can discuss at the next PMC call.
Paul. _______________________________________________
