What is the timeline for 2.x? We are going into production in 3 months. Should we upgrade now?

Hi @UGNMGFJG3 the v2 timeline isn't concrete enough to broadcast yet but I would be happy to talk you through where we are currently (let's speak again next week? Send me an email <mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]>). I can at least say that as things stand 3 months should line up with our 'alpha1' target for a release that's deployable for non-critical production environments. We would need to collaborate closely to make sure your requirements (both functional and non-functional) are sufficiently covered before we can properly support you. Unfortunately we don't currently have the bandwidth to support anyone seriously trying to use the 2.x branch ahead of alpha1, although we are keen to collaborate to analyze the upgrade path for your app, so that at least if you deploy 1.x in the meantime you won't have to re-work too much once the dust settles on v2 next year. The upgrade path will be fully documented in due course and the more engagement & feedback we get from our existing users the smoother the experience will be πŸ™‚

Good to know re: alpha 1 timeline -- I'm definitely interested in running some experiments with XTDB 2.x "alongside production" at some point and that timeline works well for me. Background: today we have a lot of situations where we have a table representing "now" and then a related table representing "changes over time" and I'd like to see what that looks like using XTDB 2.x to have a single "table" and be able to query for "changes over time" based on that (as well as being able to construct better views of our "world" at a given point-in-time from the past).
