Hi Ed,
As far as I have understood 1.4.0 is intended to be shipped in Helios
as a version of the current status of MDT-OCL as a (probably incorrect,
incomplete, etc) implementation of the OCL 2.0 specification. The
efforts needed could be updating dependencies and solving any issue
arisen from changes in the dependent projects (EMF, UML, ...).
Therefore, any actual MDT-OCL client could perfectly fit in Helios
release, without any backward compatibility problem.
If clients want to align with the OCL 2.2 specification and/or take
advantage of any new feature or enhancement introduced in Helios, they
will have to move on the MDT-OCL 2.0.0. We will be mainly focused on
this release....
Again, I have some doubts about if this, which seems to be conceptually
sensible, can be done in the practice.... which would need some help
from a releng expert (yeah, Nick could add a valuable point of view).
Cheers,
Adolfo.

If the sole purpose of 1.4.0 is to provide a
slightly more confidence inspiring name than 1.3.3 for Helios then I
have no problem with someone doing that. I just don't have time to
contribute to any problems that arise as a result. If the intention is
to offer more than maintenance functionality in 3.3 please elaborate.
I think we should proceed with OCL 2.2 as far as we can understand it
on MDT-OCL 2.0.0 and address any real compatibility issues as they
arise.
I was trying to find out what option A means. I would still like to
know what is planned for inclusion in 1.4.0, for which I provided my
best guess above. (Alex's original proposal discussed the
practicalities of A/B but did not discuss content.)
In the above I was sort of suggesting that perhaps we do both A and B
since there may not really be very much difference.
Moving to a vote is not very helpful, because I certainly do not
understand what we are actually voting on. We will only have another
discussion later on as to what the result of the vote meant.
Regards
Ed Willink
