The details of the release plan are contained in another post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=97990321207133&w=2 As it says there, new features & tasks, patches, bug fixes, etc will be considered until Feb 5. Of course, any committer may veto a patch or a commit, perhaps to suggest it be deferred till after the release. In other words, IMHO, it would be acceptable to -1 something, giving the reason that inclusion of the patch, so close to a release, would risk introducing bugs, etc. Conversely, we could vote to delay the release to include an important change. I don't think we want to become slaves to the release plan. If it needs to change, it should be changed. I would also note that submitting a patch before Feb 5th does not guarantee its inclusion in the release, since there may be no committer who has enough time to fully consider the patch. Conor
