Hi all,

 

Following the changeset related to the API Evolution document I just submitted. This is an update to the document that Dave Scott started a few weeks ago. A PDF is attached.

 

The intention is to agree on the best way to evolve the XenAPI from release to release. Especially now the API is becoming mature, and is used by more and more people, it is important to make clear what exactly is part of the XenAPI, how things may change over time, how we announce changes in terms of release notes, and what sort of compatibility guarantees can be made.

 

The attached document is an initial proposal that would benefit from a good discussion, especially on the topic of compatibility. I’d like to invite everyone who has ideas or experiences related to this to share these.

 

Thanks!

Rob
