Release policy

Following the start of the work for OpenSIPS 2.0, the priorities and policies on releases changed.

Right now, most of development effort is invested in the version 2.0 code. What this means:

Old (existing) design

• there will be no more major release for this design - that's it, 1.6 is end of line
• bug fixes will be carried on as usual
• minor / essential improvements / adds-on will still be done on 1.6 branch
• minor releases on 1.6 branch will contain not only bug fixings, but also the improvements and adds-on ; actually 1.6 branch and trunk will contain the same code - trunk will be for coding and testing, 1.6 will be the stable - after a change/add-on is tested on trunk, it will be backported to 1.6 to be part of the next minor release.

New (2.0) design

• a complete new repository entry (probably GIT based) will be created for the new version (we need to keep the current trunk as testing ground for the 1.6 branch)
• the code already takes shape - once it will have a basic functionality (able to start, stop, create threads, cfg read, etc), we will upload the code on public repository.
• the first release of the 2.0 version is estimated to be done around beginning of 2011. Could be sooner or later, depending on challenges and support (man power) we will have.

Developers hierarchy

To ensure the quality and technical competence across the project, the development work is governed by developer knowledge.
OpenSIPS project implements several layers of technical competence - the development hierarchy:

1. core developers - developers taking care of OpenSIPS core, of the overall architecture and design
2. module developers - developers taking care of a OpenSIPS module (or modules). They are module maintainers. For work expending across their modules they need to address to other module developers (for other modules) or to core developers (for core or global matters)
3. tool maintainers - developers not involved in OpenSIPS core or modules, but in surrounding tools and utilities (control tool, DB scripts, utilities, etc)
4. contributors - developers randomly contributing to OpenSIPS by providing patches (for fixes or new features). For how this works, see Contributing page.
5. packagers - people taking care of OpenSIPSpackaging (for different OS's) ; they are in-charge with maintaining the specs and preparing packages.
