Hi all,
Thanks everyone for the push on 2.7.1! Branch-2.7 is now open for commits to a 2.7.2 release. JIRA also now has a 2.7.2 version for all the sub-projects. Continuing the previous 2.7.1 thread on steady maintenance releases [1], we should follow up 2.7.1 with a 2.7.2 within 4 weeks. Earlier I tried a 2-3 week cycle for 2.7.1, but it seems to be impractical given the community size. So, I propose we target a release by the end for 4 weeks from now, starting the release close-down within 2-3 weeks. The focus obviously is to have blocker issues [2], bug-fixes and *no* features / improvements. I need help from all committers in automatically merging in any patch that fits the above criterion into 2.7.2 instead of only on trunk or 2.8. Thoughts? Thanks, +Vinod [1] A 2.7.1 release to follow up 2.7.0 http://markmail.org/message/zwzze6cqqgwq4rmw [2] 2.7.2 release blockers: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12332867
