All--
Just an update on where our release status seems to be...
We've made significant progress in documentation (especially for
NetUI) over the last few weeks; the new documentation is available for
review here:
http://beehive.apache.org/releases/nightly/
There are several blocking JIRA issues for 1.0:
BEEHIVE-872 -- This is the XMLBean issue, and I've not seen an update
from the XMLBean committers / pmc yet on their status relative to the
license issue around the JSR 173 API JAR. Will ping them and see if
they've figured this out yet.
BEEHIVE-887 -- This is just tracking all of the places that need to be
renamed to Beehive 1.0 before shipping.
BEEHIVE-904 -- This is the bug tracking the switch from XMLBeans to
JavaBeans for clients of the NetUI config file. I think we're close
on this -- I've got a patch in the bug for review and will commit that
once we agree that it looks good.
Once these are done, we should be ready to do post a release
candidate (finally!).
As a strawman for the release plan, I'd suggest that we take the
following steps after resolving JIRA 904 / 872 (887 can be resolved in
a branch):
- branch trunk/ into branches/v1/final
- complete the removal of WSM and the service control from the
documentation and binaries.
- post a release candidate (including putting the documentation on the website)
- hold a 3 day vote
- have a virtual party :)
