Hi,

Here's the list of things I think are remaining to do before a 1.6
release. I notice that the 1.5 release was done on 24-april-2003.
Wouldn't it be nice to get another release out before the year is up?
   

 

* resolve the "mixed content" issue [see later]
   

Done. Example added to cvs.

 

* prepare release notes
   

Draft done and committed to CVS. The changes were compiled with the 
help of jdiff and a log of "cvs log" and "cvs diff" work :-)

 

* double-check new method signatures [see later]
   

Done. No issues were found.

 

* confirm collections version compatibility [see later]
   

Done. Collections 3.0 works fine.

 

* create and commit an xmlrules example to the examples directory.
   

Done. 

 

* test that all examples compile & run.
   

Done.

 

* think about including proposed InvokeMethodRule [see later]
   

Done. Will be postponed until next release.

===========================

So, on to the still-to-do list:

* add cvs-version info in somehow [see later]
After reviewing Robert and Craig's emails, it seems that there is a
preference there for the version info to be higher up - maybe even
within the copyright comments at the top of the file. Is this allowed?
If so, can we run with it? I'm happy with this, though I do think my
(admittedly slightly unusual) suggestion of putting it on the *last*
line of the file also has merit. Maybe just too unexpected, though.
 

I don't see any problem with putting a CVS comment line above the 
license text at the top of the file.  My personal preference is:

 /* $Id$
  *
  * ... the standard license text goes here ...
  */
so that a "head -1" lists the id strings, but that's just me.

 

* move rss stuff to "extras" directory
   

Craig?
 

Sorry ... I've been totally buried with day-job responsibilities lately 
-- check out Sun Java Studio Creator if you want to know what I'm 
currently working on :-) -- will take care of this over the weekend.

 

* find someone willing to be official release manager
   

Anyone?????
 

If it were after JavaOne I'd do this in a shot ... unfortunately, it's 
not yet :-(.

 

* prepare RC candidate, test, etc.
   

Yep.

Also:
* run checkstyle?
* check there is a "src" distribution, and that it includes the examples
* set up wiki for digester, add ref from digester website to it.
* check code with java1.2 SDK (this is the minimum java version, right?)
* Robert's changes to logging?
* put in some more @since tags?
* finishing touches to release notes.
 

Thanks for all the awesome work, Simon!

Cheers,

Simon
 

Craig
