I'd much rather an imperfect version of BCEL be released than we continue to wait for perfection and never release. I'm very concerned that we're going to be waiting at least a year for the 6.0 release. Mark submitted about a dozen issues around six weeks ago and probably only one or two have been closed. At the current rate it will be a year before they're all addressed. And who's to say that no new issues will be filed in the next year pushing the release ever further out?
We could easily release 6.0 now, which we've been on the verge of doing. There were 3 RCs for it and it's been 7 months since voting on the first RC. In a year when all of Mark's issues are addressed we can release 7.0. Changing package names again in another year doesn't seem so bad. It's an easy sed script to update your code to a new package name. If we don't cut a release then no released version of BCEL will work with any supported version of Java. -Ben On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 10:13 AM, Ian McAllister <ianmc...@gmail.com> wrote: > quick follow up on this... were you by chance able to create an alpha > release yet? very much looking forward to having the code in maven!! > > ian > > On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 3:11 PM, ianmca86 <ianmc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > yes, that would be perfect!
