Updating status again. * 103 resolved issues out of 161. From Sep 6 we resolved 38 issues and had 30 new ones. * 78 contributors involved in the resolved issues, 80 patches and 511 comments. * I believe we now have 3 issues that would benefit from JDK 1.6. Sun have "end of life"d Java 1.5, though presumably there are other vendors who haven't. Personally I still lean towards becoming 1.6 dependent. * Still lots to work on. Here's a short list of very approachable issues (be they simple or tricky):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-288 - bit of original code to do. Fairly involved. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-521 - support "2." in NumberUtils. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-426 - possible new feature for StrTokenizer. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-405 - needs unit test/bugfixing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-403 - fun bit of code Collections continues to look inactive and I've got my eye on a few pieces there for 'rescuing' into Lang. I especially think the Comparator bits would be a better fit in Lang. (LANG-532). Major changes since Sep: * Package name changed to lang3 * Maven groupId changed (org.apache.commons) * Reverting of EqualsBuilder to not treat BigDecimal specially https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=12310481&updated%3Aafter=6%2FSep%2F09&status=5&status=6&sorter/field=updated&sorter/order=DESC Notable on-going work: * Validate being overhauled * New concurrent package being developed https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=12310481&fixfor=12311714&resolution=-1&sorter/field=priority&sorter/order=DESC Hen On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 3:37 PM, Henri Yandell <flame...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thought I'd share the status of Lang 3.0. > > * 65 resolved issues out of 131.
