Roadmap: RC2 and 1.0.0 still TBD

[OlegKi]

About one month before we read the post about the problems with the time schedule of ASP.NET Core and about setting TBD in the Roadmap schedule of RC2 and 1.0.0 version.

Is it probably the time to share any new information with the community about the current plans of the ASP.NET Core Team? The most developers, who starting migration to ASP.NET Core, required at least approximate information about the current plans about RC2 and the final release.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

There is no date yet but ASP.NET team working on integration with the new dotnet CLI system.
You can check live.asp.net last two episode Damian Edwards talks about the date and the reasons behind it.

@OlegKi He talks about it in the last Standup at 7:07 in the video.

@guardrex : Thank you! The information that one will probably report the new date of RC2 in 1-2 weeks (the statement said at 23 Feb) is at lease something. I'm looking forward for a new information.

They'll probably update the roadmap as soon as they know: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/Roadmap

Here's hoping they can announce it today with the dev build being in order!

Nope, unfortunately( still quiet

Can we get an update on the RC2? :-)

[MaximRouiller]

@janhartmann your best bet would be to follow their weekly stand-up on YouTube.

@DamianEdwards

As @MaximRouiller mentioned, there's a LIVE video every Tuesday on YouTube with the team, talking about the latest news and developments. Find out more info at https://live.asp.net/.

The corefx team announce an rc2 release for april 08, see here.
What do the others projects will follow ?

@branciat those are some dates that the .NET/CoreFX team is trying to hit for themselves, but they do not reflect a commitment to a public release at that date.

[MaximRouiller]

I'm 100% behind @DamianEdwards when he said "We'll ship when it's ready".

I'd rather have something that works well rather than bug-ridden framework.

@branciat looks like the date slipped to April 15th. I did hear in one of the Build 2016 streams RC2 is unofficially being targeted for sometime in April. That can change of course. Looking forward to knowing more specifics in order to get my code inline with proper naming and targeting!

I have a number of thoughts about this. First, is there any ongoing "this is what we're up to and these are the challenges we're having" kind of blog or other reportage? If so, where is it? If not, why not? This is supposed to be "open source" software, which means that the development is supposed to be happening in the open, and having insight into the development process is key, second only to have actual code to look at.

I'm perfectly ok with "ship when it's ready", but the community deserves more than what we got in the standup from April 5 - Q: "Any idea when it will be ready?" A: "Nooooo." Really? Some further explanation would be helpful/useful - "We can't say right now because...and these challenges have led to ... We could use some help with ... " I know we have the nightly builds, not having an official channel that explains concerns is bad practice, in my opinion. I appreciated the delivering of bad news when it was determined that RC2 would be different in some big ways from RC1, and that it would cause slippage in timelines...but keep that coming! Keep us informed. Having to guess and having developers to keep asking doesn't serve anyone...My 2 cents.
