Scala meeting report, 2010-09-14

We are currently publishing a summary of each of the weekly meetings of the
Scala Core Team.

This information is made available as a service to the community. It is by
necessity rather brief and gives only a rough approximation of the main
points of discussions explored during each meeting; it should not be taken
as a source of reliable information, nor as a record of concrete or firm
decisions, nor as anything other than a record of a simple discussion.

The summary that follows is primarily intended for Scala contributors and
maintainers. If you are not a contributor to the Scala system, the
information below is unlikely to be very useful to you, and you might lack
some of the necessary background to make sense of all the discussion items.

We do not have enough people on the team to be able to write a more
complete record, and we might also not have the resources to discuss every
point in detail afterwards. Nevertheless, we hope that this record, cursory
as it is, is better than nothing.

Scala Meeting, 2010-09-14

People attending the meeting: Alex, Toni, Miguel, Martin, Lukas, Tiark, Ingo, Phil, Philipp, Donna, Adriaan, Iulian, Gilles, Hubert

* Current work:
parallel collections, continuing work on Scala.NET, new stories on website, design for trait constructor parameters, general bug fixing

* Version numbers
The version numbers in trunk and each of the release branches will be bumped up immediately after branching/release, regardless of whether the new number will be used for a real release. That will be done in order to fulfill Maven's reliance on version numbers when using nightly snapshots.

* Source Code for Value Classes
- see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.scala.internals/3831
- currently have an inelegant working solution
- will look into doing this more cleanly, since it will help for other tools, such as IDEs
