Shouldn't we start with 2.1 first?
I guess there will still be 2.0.x bug fix release an that Jürgen will
keep maintain them.
Yes; no.
If not Jürgen then who? You?
I'd like to propose that 2.x release are only about GUI improvements and
code cleanup. IOW 2.x should keep the file format unchanged.
How are you going to do that? No format change? This is not going to
happen.
Why not? Why should be rush in changing the file format? I think there
is a lot that be can be done without changing the file format.
3.0 would in this scheme introduce a new file format, maybe XML,
maybe not.
Why not. I do not think we should put too much symbolism in version
numbers.
I'd like also to propose that we switch to git now for 2.1 and than svn
is kept only for 2.0.x bug fixing... At this point we should have one
branch per new GUI feature or code cleanup; this branch will be merged
only if complete. This will help 2.x to remain stable despite the
incremental improvements.
We have to balance what git will bring vs. the destabilization of
'normal' developers.
Most "active" developers (I am not) are already using git AFAIK... As
for the "destabilization" aspect, that's why I propose to keep svn for
2.0.x...
