Any release date estimation for Nuxeo Drive 1.0.8?

[Marwane_K_A_]

Hi,

In the current state, the Marketplace has a 1.0.8-SNAPSHOT version of Nuxeo Drive that forces its installation each time a Hotfix or another update is applied. Because of this (and us not noticing the update at first), a lot of our users now have a 1.0.8-SNAPSHOT client, which we're unsure of the compatibility with the 1.0.7 release. Also, we recently started to have performance issues which might be related to this dev version of Drive.

So, could we have an estimation of when the next stable release of Drive will be out?

Thanks

(EDIT: We're on Nuxeo 5.6)

Hi,

Not sure about the reason why the SNAPSHOT version is installed - will check with our MP specialist. About compatibility you shouldn't have any issue, though it is always better to use the version of the client included in the marketplace package corresponding to the Nuxeo hotfix version if it exists. Problem is that currently we don't systematically release such a version for a given hotfix, only on demand (but again there should be no compatibility issue as they're only hotfixes). I can release 1.0.8 based on last hotfix for 5.6 (HF31) if you need it, just tell me. Though I believe you might have the same problem with 1.0.9-SNAPSHOT...

For information, to solve this we plan to make Drive release process independant from marketplace packages with a dedicated update site and an auto-upgrade mechanism, see https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-11588, but this will only be available for 5.9.3 / 5.9.4.

Hi, thanks for your answer. The auto-upgrade of the client will be an awesome feature.

Ok it slowly starts to make sense 😉 So the "actual Drive versioning" is linked to the hotfixes, and the 1.X.X versions are only linked to client updates. So the 1.0.8-SNAPSHOT version is just the 1.0.7 client packed with the latest hotfixes, confirming your saying that it's stable.

More precisely, 1.x.y versions are released relying on a specific tag of the nuxeo-drive Github repository, typically 5.6.0-HF28 for instance, which is indicated as "Target platform" in the Marketplace site. The nuxeo-drive respository contains both the server part and the desktop client.
