I think "Milestone" pretty much says that we have some crucial things in there, but not all. "Beta" in comparison, has an "immature early version" connotation.
We are, for example, using a milestone 1 version of Jetty for the Web Frontend, so that is a pretty standard thing, in my opinion: <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>jetty-server</artifactId> <version>8.0.0.M1</version> </dependency> On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Robert Metzger <rmetz...@apache.org> wrote: > Looks like we need to vote on 0.9-beta or 0.9-milestone. > > Can we find consensus whether to add a 1 after the name? -beta1 or > -milestone1. > Adding a 1 allows us to create a second beta/milestone release. > > I'm against adding a 1. > > On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 3:40 PM, Ufuk Celebi <u...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > On 26 Mar 2015, at 11:01, Robert Metzger <rmetz...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > Two weeks have passed since we've discussed the 0.9 release the last > > time. > > > > > > The ApacheCon is in 18 days from now. > > > If we want, we can also release a "0.9.0-beta" release that contains > > known > > > bugs, but allows our users to try out the new features easily (because > > they > > > are part of a release).
