Commons Validator has recently undergone refactoring with a few bugs fixed and documentation updates.
The following release plan is proposed for Validator 1.1.0:
* /Tag Date/ - Tuesday, August 25, 2003, 23:59:59
* /Release Manager/ - Robert Leland
* /Alpha Release Announcement/ - To the following mailing list:
o [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* /Beta/General Release Announcement/ - To the following mailing lists:
o [EMAIL PROTECTED]
o [EMAIL PROTECTED]
o [EMAIL PROTECTED]The release process shall follow the same general procedures established for the Apache HTTPD project <http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html> and Jakarta Commons products <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/>, and utilize the HTTPD numbering scheme.
The release will initially be given an Alpha status and made available through the Release Manager's home directory. Pursuant to a Majority Vote on the /commons-dev/ Mailing List, the release may be moved to the public release directory. The vote may also serve to reclassify the release to be of *Beta* or *General Availability* (GA) quality, as defined by the Apache HTTPD project. Subsequent votes may reclassify the release, either to promote it or to demote it, as need be.
Issues
There are currently 3 outstanding Bugs reports http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20432 http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20579 http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22124
Bug 20432 - The original bug was fixed, and another user reported a
similar problem, but at a line number that looked unlikely.
Bug 20579 & 22124 Both deal with the Email validation.
Unit tests have been added to cover these items so tests fail. I propose that these bugs be marked LATER and addressed in a follow up release 1.1.1.
(NOTE Voting +1 for this release is also Voting for a 1.1.1,
which maintains the compatability code)
Known existing Struts validator applications work correctly, in both english and in French. Using Mozilla 1.4 & IE 6.
For this Release I also propose we update the jar dependencies to be on the
latest Commons release namely:
commons-beanutils 1.6.1
commons-collections 2.1
commons-digester 1.5
commons-logging 1.0.3 oro 2.0.7
xml-apis 2.0.2
junit 3.8.1
Finally I propose that we release the tip of the main trunk in CVS
as Commons Validator 1.1.0. A preliminary set of release notes has been
uploaded to the validator web site. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/tasks.html
