Hi Stefan, Thanks a lot for driving this release. Maybe you can share also in the news section of our homepage (https://sling.apache.org/)?
Probably the next time we need to tweak the aggregate javadoc some more: I see some - non exported packages (e.g. org.apache.sling.auth.form.impl.jaas, in general all sub package of impl packages seem to be incorrectly included) - some embedded third party packages (e.g. org.quartz.simpl) in it.
