Hi guys ! Our forth report is here (and it recalls me a very funny, and
forgotten langage of the 80ies).
News :
------
Well, i'm late. Report #4 was due for lastweek. Sorry about it, but I had a
*lot* of tests to write to fix two issues I was responsable of. I'm done with
those issues. They are dead, burried. ("return or the living dead" next week ?;)
* 1.0-RC1 is a bumpy road. We have had 2 more issues, but we are now closer
than ever (see the bug list below). Next week ?
* We have a brand new MINA 0.9.1 which will be released in hours, or days. It's
ready. That's good news :) Thanks Trustin, Niklas, and all the contributors and
users...
* We have a new MailingList dedicated to MINA. That is great ! Of course, the
offside is that Directory-dev mailing list will see it's load divided by ten
... unless we release 1.0-RC1? We are actually waiting for this Mailing-List to
be actived.
* We have now two new controls : EntryChange and SubEntry (see section 5 of
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/01aug/I-D/draft-ietf-ldapext-psearch-03.txt).
Good job, Alex !
* We also have two very interesting Extended Requests : GracefulShutdown and
GracefulDisconnect. They will be used to smoothly disconnect and smoothly stops
the server. Thanks again Alex !
* So Twix is definitively the new codec in the block. Hope it works well ;)
* It seems that we have more and more users, or people beta-testing ADS. That
could be very interesting to have a list of testimonies ! Guys, if you feel
like sending us some infos about what your are using ADS for, that would be
great.
* ADS slowly increase its visibility :
http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/directory.html. More and
more people are keeping an eye on it. Of course, the download numbers are not
very high : around 6 per day. May I be optimistic and think that those 6 are
really early birds, and those early birds will be eagles soon ?
2) Roadmap milestones
---------------------
1.0-RC1 for next week. Let's do it !!! Be aware that it won't be perfect...
Here is a list of things to do when this first release will be out before we
can proclame the 1.0 :
o Make sure the uberjar still works with these installation layout
changes (it should). If not this should be an option for those who just
want to get the server up and running fast without all these
installers. I also want to rename this thing from main => uberjar.
o Get this SAR contribution from Simon into the repo for running
apacheds inside of JBoss. I'm going to make it a module under
apaches/simple
o Finish the RPM installer in the plugin
o Figure out how we're going to handle documentation package in the
installer plugin (we should bundle doco)
o Knock out all critical bugs.
o Change ApacheDS package names to start with org.apache.directory.
I'm going to do all the projects and take care of the artifactId
renaming. The SVN layout will change little but the build should look
clean.
o Cleanup all these log messages in the build - IT'S WAY OUT OF CONTROL
o Need to get izpack installer generation working for mac installations.
o Touch up installers and test them all one last time.
o Kick off a vote
Bugs :
------
Here the list of bugs we have to close before 1.0-RC1.

The only Blocker is DIREVE-314. This one is an absolute no-go for 1.0-RC1
DIREVE-327, DIREVE-308 and DIREVE-277 are the next targets.
DIRSNICKERS-96 may be already fixed. Alex, do you have a status for this one?

4) Work in progress (Please fill the gaps ;)
-------------------
Alex : Bugs, and installers. Lot of work !
Trustin : The 0.9.1 is on the rails to success !
Niklas : In the same train than Trustin ;)
Stefan : Busy with a book to finish for march.
Ersin : He is now known as Mr Site ! He switched the whole site generation to
Maven 2, and even if he had some little worries and issues, it's pretty much
done ;) Hopefully, it will be Ok for next week. Thanks Ersin for this great
dedication :)
Enrique : ?
Emmanuel : No more twix. Twix is ok. Bug fixes!
Phil : ?
Vince : ?
Brett : Thanks for the help on Maven 2. Many convos with Ersin.
5) Miscelleanous
----------------
What else ? Well, again, a lot have been done, and a lot more is to be done.
But we are close to our first achievment ! We will have to prepare some "press"
release as soon as 1.0-RC1 will be ready. The news must be spreaded all over
the world. Tell your friends, your colleagues, your
girl-friend/boy-friend/wife/husband, your mother, father, sister, brother,
relatives, your parrots, even your dog or favorite pet about 1.0-RC1!
Next report will be the release report :)
