Hi all,

We have fixed a few bugs and added enhancements since Apache Commons 
Configuration 2.11.0 was released, so I would like to release Apache Commons 
Configuration 2.12.0.

I have tested this with 'mvn clean test install site' using:
Apache Maven 3.9.9 (8e8579a9e76f7d015ee5ec7bfcdc97d260186937)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.9.9/libexec

The 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.

1a) Clone and checkout the RC tag

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-configuration.git 
--branch commons-configuration-2.12.0-RC1 commons-configuration-2.12.0-RC1
cd commons-configuration-2.12.0-RC1

1b) Download and unpack the source archive from:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/configuration/2.12.0-RC1/source

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

Note that the project reports are created for each module.
Modules can be accessed using the 'Project Modules' link under
the 'Project Information' menu (see <path-to-site>/modules.html).
