We have fixed quite a few bugs and added some significant enhancements
since Apache Commons Configuration 2.7 was released, so I would like
to release Apache Commons Configuration 2.8.0.

Apache Commons Configuration 2.8.0 RC3 is available for review here:
    https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/configuration/2.8.0-RC3
(svn revision 55351)

The Git tag commons-configuration-2.8.0-RC3 commit for this RC is

You may checkout this tag using:
    git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-configuration.git

For following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers.

Validating a release candidate
==============================

These guidelines are NOT complete.

Requirements: Git, Java, Maven.

You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows.

1) Clone and checkout the RC tag

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-configuration.git
--branch commons-configuration-2.8.0-RC3
commons-configuration-2.8.0-RC3
cd commons-configuration-2.8.0-RC3

2) Check Apache licenses

This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page which
you then must check.

mvn apache-rat:check

3) Check binary compatibility

Older components still use Apache Clirr:

This step is not required if the site includes a Clirr report page
which you then must check.

mvn clirr:check

Newer components use JApiCmp with the japicmp Maven Profile:

This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page
which you then must check.

mvn install -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp

4) Build the package

mvn -V clean package

You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply.
To gather OS information from a command line:
Windows: ver
Linux: uname -a

5) Build the site for a single module project

Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged.

mvn site
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html

6) Build the site for a multi-module project

mvn site
mvn site:stage
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
