[Swift-devel] Next Swift release

[Michael Wilde]

Thats correct - from experience I feel that trunk is usable and likely on par with stable-1.0 in terms of reliability, especially for basic applications. 


So what Im eager to do here is to develop and run the tests we've long needed to validate a release on a set of site configs, and then run Trunk -> Stable 0.91 through those tests, and make a release by 12/20.

----- Original Message -----


mike wilde was suggesting that trunk and branches/1.0 are equally stable so he wants to do a release of what's currently in trunk (which means we need to branch it). the users i'm supporting only use branches/1.0 and have been doing so reliably for many months...the actual 'usability' of trunk i'm less familiar with but mike was hoping to put effort towards releasing that rather than spending time/effort on releasing branches/1.0 since it lacks many of the newer fixes and features.

I am of the opinion that if we have a choice of releasing branches/1.0 
now or releasing trunk at the end of January, we should release 
branches/1.0 now.
