Is 7.2.0.Alpha1 postphoned?

[ybxiang.china]

Hi guys,

About 10 days ago, I saw the release date of 7.2.0.Alpha1 is 2012-08-16 from here:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aroadmap-panel

But now, the release date is removed.

Is there something wrong with the plan?

Is it affected because of 7.1.3.Final (EAP)?

It would be better to set a new expected release date for the incoming 2~3 release.

The release dates of the community releases are just esimates, I'm not sure even why they are there since people tend to be upset when the date passes and the deadline "missed".

Yes, I am a bit upset: Last weekend, I waited, went to the download page, but did NOT find it.

I am feeling better now after having seen your kind reply.

Keep a track of the JIRA. At some point, the 200+ issues will drop to about 30-40 (the rest are slipped to the next release). After that you can try to estimate the release date by looking at the complexities of the issues and resolving speeds ;-)

Thank you, sir!

Everyday morning, I go to the roadmap page to check the JIRA status.

I really love JBoss, I have studied and used it over 7 years.

It's worth noting that the best way to ensure JBoss AS gets released ASAP is to find a relevant JIRA that interests you submit a high quality patch.

I guess development will slow down a bit now for a week and then speed will pick up when the developers notice that the world didn't end on 21 dec and the deadlines are still around
