Re: What is happening to GWT???

Hi,

+1 on the regular releases. I am perfectly aware that this is an open source project so nobody is entitled in asking anything. However with long standing releases it is getting difficult to justify use of GWT in my organization. It is much easier to carry custom patches or skip a buggy release in a fast pacing schedule.

@Jens thanks for the links. I always assumed you were an insider in GWT development.

I am sure there must be a better way of documenting the GWT development than Jen's mail though... :-)

As said above, Google doesn't really care about "releases", except for that they care enough about the community "outside" who, they know, do care about releases.

@Thomas: And thats exactly why I think GWT will have a better life if we would do fixed, automated monthly / quarterly releases directly from master after they have run through Google testing to ensure a high degree of stableness. People don't like using SNAPSHOTs so just lets just "rename" some SNAPSHOTs as releases on a regular basis.

@Others: I am not on the steering group and I am not an official maintainer for any of GWT's features. But still I think I am pretty good informed about whats going on with GWT. How, do you ask? Exactly as Thomas said. 

I am reading posts in

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-web-toolkit-contributors

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gwt-steering

I regularly look at upcoming commits to see whats in the pipeline

You can even get notified via email of changes to upcoming commits by either registering on https://gwt-review.googlesource.com and configure email notification or by joining https://groups.google.com/a/gwtproject.org/forum/#!forum/gwt-reviews

GWT does not do public relations work, if you want to stay informed you need to gather information using the above sources.
