Performance was not significantly different from earlier 2.x versions for the tested workloads.

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. 1a) Clone and checkout the RC tag git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-pool.git --branch commons-pool-2.12.0-RC5 commons-pool-2.12.0-RC5 cd commons-pool-2.12.0-RC5 1b) Download and unpack the source archive from: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/pool/2.12.0-RC5/source 2) Check binary compatibility Review the JApiCmp report linked above 3) Build the package and site from the unpacked source distribution or tag mvn -V clean package site 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 4) bonus points: Test that the packaged jar works as expected in applications. If you have applications that use [pool], install the 2.12.0 jar locally and test against it.
