I don't see the relationship between that functional testing and a decision on bug fix release... ;) I've prepared a mail for you several days ago but I hadn't sent it so far because I'm not sure about the answer. We take decisions here together and we haven't discussed this yet so this is a good time... This is indeed an important question. I think this is a community decision and one for the current committers. My personal feeling (I only speak for myself) is currently the following: * Most xwiki committers will probably want to work and focus on 1.1. I'm also starting to work on 2.0. * In order for XWiki 1.1 to become even better we need the maximum of users to try 1.1. * I think 1.1 will stay stable enough for users to migrate to it or at least to try it and migrate if they like it * Our goal is to increase our automated test suite to reduce the risk of regression and allow users to safely move to any release we do * We may need 1.0.x releases but that's hard to do as there aren't many active committers * I discussed this with Sergiu and we think there are some occasions where a bug fix release should be done. One of them is when there are important security issues discovered and fixed But I guess the real answer is: if a committer wants to do a bug release and is volunteering for leading it, I think everyone would agree. If volunteers like you can/want to contribute to a bug fix releases then I guess the likelihood that it'll happens will be high. What do other committers think? Thanks -Vincent
