All,<br>
<br>
Thanks to everyone who took part in the recent discussion on API<br>
compatibility in minor platform releases. In response to the points<br>
raised, Don and I would like to propose the following:<br>
<br>
      * Bug fix only in minor releases<br>
      * Change platform version numbers to follow the PVP<br>
      * 4 month major release cycles for the first 12 months<br>
      * Review major release cycle frequency after 12 months<br>
<br>
We hope we can achieve consensus around this proposal. Please could<br>
people indicate if they think they can support this.<br>
