Upcoming changes for jrawio
9-Sep-2009 05:19 - Filed under: MiscellaneousAs a response to some hints coming from jrawio users, there are some upcoming changes impacting on various parts of the project.
You could have noticed the first one by reading this post, as the website URL for the project has changed. It's no more jrawio.tidalwave.it but jrawio.rawdarkroom.org - even though you might be still reading through the old URL. For a few time both URLs will be available, and in the end jrawio.tidalwave.it will be a redirect to the new URL.
Tidalwave is still the copyright owner of jrawio, and the principal committer - no changes for the future about that. The new URL is an anticipation of a namespace change that will later occur, replacing
it.tidalwave.imageio.*
with something like
org.rawdarkroom.imageio.*
In the meantime, also some inconsistencies about package and class names will be addressed. A draft document about the name change is already available.
Because of that, the plan for jrawio has been updated:
- v1.6 (jrawio and reajent distributed in a single JAR + an API for programmatically enabling or disabling reajent) is planned as usual and keeps the current packages. This means that the new API, which is the first public API of jrawio, will still be considered experimental.
- The package rename will be delivered for a newly defined v2.0 - it will introduce an official and stable API.
- The originally planned 2.0 (support for guaranteed quality and profiles) is renamed to 3.0.
- The originally planned 2.5 (profiles for compatibility with existing camera raw processing applications) is renamed to 3.x.
The “Specifications” page and the roadmap on Jira have been updated. Please let us have feedback by means of the mailing lists. Please be aware that dates in the roadmap are only a tentative and mostly subject to change.
