Roadmap for this extension

[Rubens]

Hi All,

I am a bit confused by the current module downloads for Spring - in particular, the Ajax integration, maybe someone can enlighten me on this.

As I understand it, the ajax integration module can be downloaded, but there are no guarantees on it working or being stable at all, because it is basically a nightly build against the Spring CVS/SVN HEAD, is that correct?

A second question is: is there a roadmap document somewhere that gives an indication of when this module (and any of the others, for that matter) are expected to be formally released? Will they be part of the final 1.1 release, or they will always be separate modules?

My problem is that I would like to use the NHibernate and the Ajax modules, but would like to avoid being dragged down into checking out the code and building things myself to avoid assembly version clashes in the precompiled modules...

Any ideas on that?

Thanks!

Yes, though in as much as all the automated tests pass, not very extensive in the case of nhibernate in terms of automation, you are not flying completely blind, but point well taken.

A second question is: is there a roadmap document somewhere that gives an indication of when this module (and any of the others, for that matter) are expected to be formally released? Will they be part of the final 1.1 release, or they will always be separate modules?

I am working on this now. The idea is to have a 'release train' of multiple modules, nhibernate, ajax, nunit, spring.net proper, that is coordinated. The next 'RC1' release in a few weeks will be in this style, I can't provide a more specific date at the moment. There will also be seperate JIRA instances for each module and verison numbers etc.

My problem is that I would like to use the NHibernate and the Ajax modules, but would like to avoid being dragged down into checking out the code and building things myself to avoid assembly version clashes in the precompiled modules...


I know - and avoiding this is exactly one of the goals of making a simultaneous release.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks, that's exactly the information I needed :)
