Comment 9 for bug 1287147

(please ignore #8 - fingers not working this morning :-))

I have a revised schedule with proposed features from the juju-core team.

juju-core 1.18 (stable release):

April 1 -- 1.17.8 Release
    Joyent Provider lands << NEW FEATURE

April 2 -- 1.18.0 Release (without HA and VLAN)
    Bug fixes only
April 4 -- 1.18.1 Release (without HA and VLAN)
    Bug fixes only

The 1.17.8 release will introduce a new provider to support use of juju with the Joyent cloud; I discussed this with the developer working on this feature and the code changes to the rest of juju are minimal - the new provider is relatively isolated in the source code.

juju-core 2.0 (stable release):

April 7 -- 1.19.0 Release
    VLAN landed
April 11 -- 1.19.1 Release
    Azure availability sets land
    HA landed (first phase more work needed to bring up additional state servers)
April 25 -- 2.0 Release Candidate
    HA landed in full.

As you can see, juju-core 2.0 is due for release after final freeze and 14.04 release; so I'd like to release with juju-core 1.18 as this will be the most recent stable for 14.04 release. We may wish to introduce juju 2.0 as a backport (or namespaced package) but I'll deal with that in the MRE I need to request from the technical board.
