Hi all, Thanks to the combined work of many, many contributors, here's an RC0 for 3.0.0-alpha1:
http://home.apache.org/~wang/3.0.0-alpha1-RC0/ alpha1 is the first in a series of planned alpha releases leading up to GA. The objective is to get an artifact out to downstreams for testing and to iterate quickly based on their feedback. So, please keep that in mind when voting; hopefully most issues can be addressed by future alphas rather than future RCs. Sorry for getting this out on a Tuesday, but I'd still like this vote to run the normal 5 days, thus ending Saturday (9/3) at 9AM PDT. I'll extend if we lack the votes. Please try it out and let me know what you think. Best, Andrew
