Yep. Don't forget to post to derby-user too.
2) I should summarize the major features that are ready for testing. This summary should appear in trunk/CHANGES
that would be nice. CHANGES is a little stale at the moment.
Is there a place to describe known defects (e.g., the fact that the user guides haven't been updated yet)? What other summaries should I supply?
Open bugs with Fix In 10.2 is a good place to start: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=10594&fixfor=11187 106 issues scheduled to be fixed before 10.2. We should probably tighten that up. Or get to some serious bug fixing real soon now.
1) I want to make sure I'm capturing the current state of the mainline so that end-users will know which tires to kick. I thought we maintained a wiki page on the expected contents of 10.2. But I can't find that page hung off http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/. Can you help me find that page?
Was this the page you were looking for? http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyDevActivities Although, that page is also a little stale now. Online backup is complete, for instance. Thanks for looking into putting a snapshot together. It will be good to get these new features wider testing. On a different note, did you get the snapshot target working? I'm looking to simplify the process, after your last note I realized that it shouldn't be necessary to run 15 commands to produce the snapshot. I'm running some testing and hope to have that down to one command ('ant snapshot' :-) ) if things work out. andrew
