JaxMe 0.3 Release Plan

Background

Wiki are a quick and easy to formulate release plans. They are also easy to maintain. This is still a bit experimental and doesn't set any sort of precendence.

The 0.3 is a milestone release representing another step along the road to 1.0. It includes bug fixes and enhancements since the last release.

Status

Release manager elected (Robert Burrell Donkin) and creation of a release plan approved. Starting work on pre-release work.

Suggested resolutions:

• JAXME-6 Old one, this. Be nice to check whether this issue still exist. Probably worth creating test cases to check.

• JAXME-13 Jochen, this is one of yours: is this a sleeper to be resolved after the 0.3 release or is it something we should think about now?

• JAXME-11 Agree with Jochen's comments. Sleep or mark as resolved.
