Is it possible to install both version on any system?
It might be useful to test them in parallel...

I think one important thing could be to issue a
feature-fix for 1.xx at some time, do only bugfixes from then on, then shift all future
development to v2.
So, leave the community a 'very' stable 1.x, and then move to 2. I think one
thing is sure - once there is a v2 and the 'old' version stays where it is, most
people will naturally decide to always go for the 'latest' version. As a matter of
fact, I know a lot of people who already now download v2 (even though it is somewhat
hidden), simply because they think it must be the more advanced version.
What do you think, how did that go between DVD-o-matic and DCP-o-matic? Did you track
download numbers before/after?
I think the DVD->DCP transition went ok; I
don't remember any terrible
regressions. I might be able to fish the download stats out of the
logs.
I agree on the strategy; the main thing I want to avoid is lots of
inexperienced users downloading V2 and hitting lots of bugs. I'd
rather the old heads hit them as they know not to panic and just file
bug reports ;)
I think 1.x should be feature-frozen quite soon. I'm wasting time
forward-porting things from 1.x to 2.x as the trees have diverged too
much to allow automatic merges.
Regards,
Carl
