April first is coming fast, so the question is: do we release
something on April first and if so, what?
I think we definitely should release something, so in my opinion the
answer to the first question is "yes". The second one isn't so clear.
What is clear, I think, is that it's not going to be something we
would want to call "5.0.0 release", because I don't think we're going
to get the API finalisation, debugging and manual writing done before
then.
What I think we can reach by that time is a "beta" or "preview"
release where the API has stabilised (feature freeze), but that does
mean we would need to get a lot of things done before the next release
(in one-two weeks?) and immediately after. The distinction "beta" and
"release candidate" would be that for the RC, we would need to have
the code base better debugged, better examples and better documentation.
All of this is of course just a cheap ploy to release something with
"5.0" in the version string on April first. An alternative I would
like could be "5.0-epsilon".
Thoughts? Suggestions?
