Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Bring forward XE 1.3 final + create branch

Hi, I'd like to bring forward the release dates for XE 1.3 final, as follows: * 1.3RC1 - 25/02 * 1.3Final - 3/03 I'd also like to create a branch for 1.3 since it's now in RC stage and trunk will become 1.4-SNAPSHOT so that committers eager to work on 1.4 can start doing so and so that we're not tempted to push non bug changes in 1.3... The reasons: 1) We're ready to release it barring any regression we have introduced (which will be fixed in 1.3RC1) 2) Some of us are eager to work on 1.4 (like JV who's working on performance improvements for ex) :) 3) I'd like to drop support for 1.2 ASAP since it's hard to support several branches at once. When 1.3 is released it means we will be supporting 1.3 and 1.4 but no longer 1.2 (since our standard rule is to support 2 versions - Of course anyone is free to support whatever he wants but this is our general rule to make it easy to progress in our devs). 4) 1.3 hasn't had any major changes since 1.2 and thus should be pretty stable Here's my +1 to both the new dates and the branch creation. Thanks -Vincent
