Hello Guys,

I'm a big fan of AndroidAnnotations, I use it in my own Apps as well in the App we develop in the company where i work.

As I'm also adding PRs i would like to understand the Workflow of how you handle PR and new Versions to get the subjects of a PR to the users.

My first PR was more or less a test to see if I can handle the way AA works while not really needing the changes for my project - this one got merged relatively fast (~12days).
My second one - with changes i actually needed - was first proposed on Oct. 6 2013 with an update after merging the refactoring PR on Dec. 12 2013. The merge happened on Mar. 16 2014, about 160 days later.
The current PR(actually two seperate but related) was proposed on Mar. 2 2014 and is not yet(~120days later) merged - but it seems that a merge is in the near future.

While i understand that most of the work on AA is done in freetime, i would like to understand the politics behind when to merge a PR and when a new release is done. I have no problem with using a SNAPSHOT(i actually started with 3.0-SNAPSHOT and never had a stable 😞) but since Oct 6. I'm forced to use a self built SNAPSHOT to have my changes available in my projects.

TL;DR
I would like to know how you decide when to merge a PR (after they are OK/LGTM) and when there will be a new release or at least a bump to the next minor snapshot (like 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT) where changes for the corresponding release will be merged as soon as they are OK/LGTM. For breaking changes (like a plugin system) that would require a new Major i understand that they will open for a bit longer until there is enough to justify a jump to a new major release.

Thank you all for this beautiful library! ;)
