Re: [xtext-dev] 0.7.1 and beyond
|
Hi Peter,
Xtext 0.7.1 is a maintenance release and we do not want to push any
new features - right?.
Yes, exactly.
As an example, Michael's folding support (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281429
) will not make it into 0.7.1?
Yes, that's something for 0.8.0.
How about mini-features like e.g. adding "format" and "toggle
comments" (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281055 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280200)
to the context menu. What about the wizard enhancements that have
been requested?
To put it more bluntly, what's the threshold? Will we only fix bugs,
or will we add features?
Generally I would like all of us to concentrate on the bugs and
missing documentation as opposed to adding new features.
Regarding the three enhancements you listed, I'ld say that the former
two are so minimal that it would be ok. The latter is not.
But you should first spend your time on the prioritized items if you
think you can help with any of them.
I'd be fine with only fixing bugs for 0.7.1. If someone wants to
work on new features, they can do this in their workspace and attach
the changes as patches to the respective feature bugs (AFAIK, this
is also the way the EMF team operates).
I want all of us to do not only the fun work. But contribute with
bugfixes, unit tests and documentation as well.
If everybody spends his time to work on new features privately, nobody
will have the time to do the planned issues.
Also I'ld like to have an idea of what we want in 0.8.0 *before*
everybody is adding features.
Cheers,
Sven
