All,
Apologies in advance if this is not in the appropriate format for a vote
request, please feel free to correct me as required.
As discussed in several threads earlier, this is a request for a PMC
vote to release Avalon Framework 4.3, Avalon Logkit 2.1, Excalibur
Components 2.1, Cornerstone Components 2.1, and Fortress Container 1.2,
based on the earlier RC1-RC3 releases over the past few weeks.
There are several issues to consider, however, for the vote:
- As reported by Leif, qdox-1.5 has some incompatibilities when compared
to qdox-1.2 for Fortress meta-data. This can, hopefully, be worked
around in the immediate future by substituting qdox-1.2 in the final
application build, unitl a fix can be implemented in Fortress-meta, and
more importantly, in qdox.
- Vadim has suggested a change for removing thread-locals in LogKit. We
can go forever with issues every week, so my preference is to release
now without the fix. We can immediately turn around, put the fix in,
release a SNAPSHOT, and then wait for the next release <TBD>.
- There have been requests for Fortress meta data changes and additions
(in Cornerstone). These also can be worked around with configuration
files, for now, so I don't believe we should hold the release at the moment.
So, despite these issues, here's my +1 for a release. Community,
please provide feedback on your opinions, and PMC please provide your
votes. If passed, I'll plan on releasing on Sunday August 28th. If you
vote, -1, please don't do it because past history says we'll release
again only a year later, please do it for some other reason.
Thanks,
Shash
