(most people will probably be aware that) i've decided to cut release again (potential release managers may want to take a look at this thread http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg? [EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=3265) and that i've been pushing forward new releases for logging and beanutils.
the main motivation for these releases to enable downstream consumers of our libraries to have a smooth upgrade path which sidesteps binary compatibility issues with commons collections versions.
digester is the next in my sights for a service release. since this is release is primarily aimed at helping downstream consumers by resolving dependency issues (rather than one aimed at adding functionality) it'd probably be a good idea to move quickly to take a release branch containing the current code base so that the work for the meatier release (with more functionality) can proceed in parallel with the release process (that's usually a little drawn out).
if this seems like a good plan, i'll write it up (on the wiki) tomorrow and move towards a vote on the plan pretty soon. as soon as we can decide on the right number for the features release, i'll put an outline release plan on the wiki.
(i know that i've promised to devote more time to digester a few week ago but all this blew up right to the top of my priority list. hopefully logging and beanutils are under control, so i'll be able to give more of my attention to digester soon...)
