Looking back on 1.0.1

  • RSE 1.0.1 Testing statistics (links on bottom of page):
    • 63 bugs fixed, 40 verified, 7 reopened, 6 new:
      • 16 not yet verified; more than 11% reopened!
    • We need to improve the quality of our bug fixes, and decrease the time for verification: using unit tests
    • When picking a bug, pick one that's "testable" and start writing a unit test for it. Then, fix it.
      • After jumping over an initial hurdle of unit tests, we'll soon earn the fruit of enhanced quality and less time needed for testing
    • bugs assigned to target 1.0.1 but left open are now assigned to 2.0M4 (currently 46 bugs) - see the bug process page

Upcoming Work

  • Top priority this week is a stable 2.0M4 --> Finish off some cleanup, add unit tests
  • When to fork off 2.0 API changes?
    • Can start right away (e.g. "anonymous" ftp access), but quality must be high:
    • add unit tests for all new or modified API
    • document API changes (on build notes, tm-dev list or where?)
  • Planning 2.0
    • Dates are governed by Europa: M4=Jan 4, M5=Feb 23==EclipseCon, M6=Apr 6==API Freeze, M7=May 18==RC0
    • Start IBM and EMO review process for User Actions and Import/Export (DaveD)
      • Also need a CQ for two Userdoc files for the Internal Comms Daemon? (Kushal, DaveD)
    • RSE 2.0 Planning - Finalize the 2.0 Project Plan, Priorities:
      • 1. Make APIs usable for clients, harden the APIs, improve documentation
        • SystemType improvements; retargetable actions/commands; read-only flags; Streams for IHostShell, IFileService; UI/Non-UI Refactoring; make RSE more service-oriented
      • 2. Make EFS work
      • 3. Play well with the Platform
      • 4. Improve overall quality (unit tests; special characters; long filenames; background jobs; parallel access; ...)
    • Think about limiting the API: Make APIs internal along the way of updating documentation, and making Unit tests, we'll see some API we want "internal".
    • For bugs, see the bug process page (assigned to inbox, status new, hi-priority, API, open with patch)
