Axis c++ 1.5 release plan (draft 3)

[sanjaya singharage]

Hi Mark, John and all,   From the C support point of view I think it is not prudent to go for 1.5 code freeze without atleast client side support with stub generation. I hope it is a date close to 25 th with that in place so that we can go for the code freeze.   Mark, John could we have a date as to when we could have that and go for code freeze?   ALSO COULD I HAVE WHO IS DOING WHAT AND THE STATUS OF ITEMS 4 AND 5 IN THE FEATURE/IMPROVEMENT LIST BELOW? (So that we know that the listed out items are all being done for 1.5)   Following the discussion I have added these items -Problem with complex types which contain complex types http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-197 (in progress by carsten)   Following the discussion I have removed the following items   -Fault mapping (stub level) -improvement of Web Site a.Web-site should be made more or less like Axis-Java website for ease of use b.More user oriented and less developer oriented   PLEASE SUGGEST A DATE FOR CODEFREEZE/RELEASE AND VOTE.   sanjaya.   ======================================================= (third draft of the release plan.)   Hi all, I would like to volunteer to be the release manager for the Axis C++ 1.5 release.
