[paho-dev] Eclipse Paho 1.3 Release Plan

Hello all,

you might have seen that we have outlined the next release of Eclipse Paho, 1.3, and aligned it with the next simultaneous release of Eclipse, Oxygen:

    https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.paho

We have had a sequence of Paho releases that have been associated with Eclipse simultaneous releases, so it seems like a good opportunity to do this again.   We could have had 1.1.0 associated with Mars but I didn't realize that they didn't have to be exactly simultaneous at the time.  So we can release 1.3 before the Oxygen date in June if we choose to.  As always, there is a month lead up time where the project plan and legal reviews take place, so the work should be substantially completed in May.

 Breaking Changes - Version 2?

Roger asked some time ago whether we could consider a version 2.0 release, as he had some breaking changes he was considering for the Python client.  James is reviewing a pull request this week for the Java client which could also result in breaking changes, and it would be good to allow this to happen for individual Paho applications.  As no-one really takes any notice of the Paho release number, then it seems to me that the Paho applications should be able to decide for themselves what their version numbers ought to be.  So the Python and Java clients could move to 2.0 within the Paho 1.3 release for instance, or release both 2.0 and 1.3 branches.

I'll check with Benjamin to see what he thinks our options are.

 Proposed Release Contents

- first formal release of mqtt-spy in Paho (Kamil, I need to speak to you!)
- first formal release of Tomoaki's MQTT-SN gateway
- it would be great to get a release of the C++ client (Frank?)
- updates/fixes to other clients/applications:
    - C client (I have a raft of outstanding work to look at)
    - embedded clients for both MQTT and MQTT-SN
    - Java/Android
    - Python? Go? M2MQTT?

For all committers, please let us know what you would like to include, or any other suggestions you might have.  James or I will contact you individually to make sure we know your plans, if you don't get in contact with us first :-)

Thanks!
