Steve, I think the same JIRA problem (no permission) exists on Confluence too. I've looked carefully but I can't find an Edit link in the Release Workflow page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Release+Workflow John P.S. I apologize for addressing only PMC members in my vote email. Everyone is welcome to vote, not only PMC members. (I forgot that there are non-PMC members on the dev list.) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Lawrence <slawre...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, March 18, 2022 4:41 AM To: dev@daffodil.apache.org Subject: EXT: Re: [DISCUSS] need to release Daffodil 3.3.0 WARNING: This email originated from outside of GE. Please validate the sender's email address before clicking on links or attachments as they may not be safe. I think I've added you (and all other PMC members) to the appropriate roles to manage Jira. You should be able to bulk edit and add new releases now. Yes, that release notes page looks like a much better approach to creating the site information. Could you update the release workflow with how to get to this page? I can't seem to find it. Also, just noticed maybe even better: if you click Configure Release Notes and select "Text", the "Edit/Copy Release Notes" box at the bottom has something almost perfect for the website. Just needs a tweak to use the %jira macro.

I think we can simplify the release workflow by using this "Release > Notes", copying the list of issues, editing the issue numbers to {% jira XXXX > %} format, and editing the category titles. > > John > > -----Original Message----- > From: Interrante, John A (GE Research, US) <john.interra...@ge.com> > Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2022 10:19 AM > To: mbecke...@apache.org > Cc: dev@daffodil.apache.org > Subject: EXT: [DISCUSS] need to release Daffodil 3.3.0 > > Please review and approve Prepare for Release 3.3.0 by tuxji · Pull Request > #775 · apache/daffodil > (github.com)<https://github.com/apache/daffodil/pull/775>. > > Also, please help improve the release notes by reviewing Prepare for Release > 3.3.0 by tuxji · Pull Request #82 · apache/daffodil-site > (github.com)<https://github.com/apache/daffodil-site/pull/82>. > > From: Mike Beckerle <mbecke...@apache.org> > Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2022 6:54 AM > To: Interrante, John A (GE Research, US) <john.interra...@ge.com> > Cc: dev@daffodil.apache.org > Subject: EXT: Re: [DISCUSS] need to release Daffodil 3.3.0 > > Nobody else has stepped forward, so I think you "win the prize" for this > release John. > > On Tue, Mar 15, 2022 at 3:57 PM Interrante, John A (GE Research, US) > <john.interra...@ge.com<mailto:john.interra...@ge.com>> wrote: > I can volunteer to be release manager if no one else wants to and you don't > need the rc soon (I won't have time to prepare a rc until Thursday evening > and it's my first time so it would take more time). > > John > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Beckerle > <mbecke...@apache.org<mailto:mbecke...@apache.org>> > Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2022 1:59 PM > To: dev@daffodil.apache.org<mailto:dev@daffodil.apache.org> > Subject: EXT: Re: [DISCUSS] need to release Daffodil 3.3.0 > > Ok, all the critical issues for 3.3.0 are fixed now. > > Any volunteers for release manager? > > On Mon, Mar 14, 2022 at 7:24 PM Mike Beckerle > <mbecke...@apache.org<mailto:mbecke...@apache.org>> wrote: > >> This was an easy fix. >> >> Once this gets merged I believe we have direction to move forward >> with >> 3.3.0 release process. >> >> Who would like to be release manager? >> >> >> On Mon, Mar 14, 2022 at 6:06 PM Mike Beckerle >> <mbecke...@apache.org<mailto:mbecke...@apache.org>> >> wrote: >> >>> So the 3 blocking issues have been fixed/merged. >>> >>> However, of several bugs found over the last few days, this one is >>> quite >>> problematic: >>> >>> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2673 >>> >>> I am going to try to fix this in the next day, and if it proves to >>> be harder than that, postpone it until post 3.3.0. >>> >>> >>> >>> On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 10:37 AM Steve Lawrence >>> <slawre...@apache.org<mailto:slawre...@apache.org>> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Agreed. +1 to start the release processes once these are resolved. >>>> >>>> On 3/10/22 6:05 PM, Interrante, John A (GE Research, US) wrote: >>>>> Fixing these 3 tickets seems sufficient to me. >>>>> >>>>> -----Original Message----- >>>>> From: Mike Beckerle >>>>> <mbecke...@apache.org<mailto:mbecke...@apache.org>> >>>>> Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 6:00 PM >>>>> To: dev@daffodil.apache.org<mailto:dev@daffodil.apache.org> >>>>> Subject: EXT: Re: [DISCUSS] need to release Daffodil 3.3.0 >>>>> >>>>> Once the revert/fix for regressions is merged, I think we're down >>>>> to >>>> just these 3 tickets as really critical for Daffodil 3.3.0 release: >>>>> >>>>> DAFFODIL-2652 >>>>> <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2652> - >>>> Ability to disable all alignment >>>>> >>>>> Given the number of outstanding bugs associated with unparser >>>>> deadlock >>>> and alignment I think this feature is an important hedge allowing >>>> progress to be made by schema authors even if they run into these >>>> unparser/alignment related issues (like DAFFODIL-2662 or >>>> DAFFODIL-2666 which are hard to fix, and I think we don't want to >>>> hold back the release for those fixes because they will take a >>>> while.) >>>>> >>>>> DAFFODIL-2650 >>>>> <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2650> - >>>> using config file with cli parse or save parser causes backtrace >>>>> >>>>> Major usability issue when dealing with DFDL schemas that issue >>>>> many >>>> warnings. >>>>> >>>>> DAFFODIL-2267 >>>>> <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2267> - >>>> Warnings emitted on pre-compiled parsers >>>>> >>>>> Major usability issue when dealing with DFDL schemas that issue >>>>> many >>>> warnings in deployed Daffodil-based applications.
