Sorry quite late to follow this. Colm suggested the good approach and listed the right issues we need to address for the release. It’s good to address them and consider the release now.
I have some questions first when considering the 1st release of Kerby. 1. What version would we have for the release, some options from my view: 1.0, 0.1, or 1.0-M1 and so on. I saw we just released Apache Directory Server 2.0.0-M20, would Kerby project follow this style or otherwise? M20 looks too long for a major release IMHO. 2. What’s the artifacts we would have for the release? How about: 1) JARs (to be published): Client side Kerberos library in a jar; KDC side Kerberos library in a jar; Kerby facilities (Netty, LDAP, Zookeeper backends and so on) in a jar 2) Kerby KDC distribution installation packages, a tar (client side tools, server side services and tools, conf, doc and etc.) 3. Would anyone take and help with the release? Thanks for thinking about this.

What I suggest is to create a new version in the DIRKRB JIRA, and start assigning issues that must be fixed by the first release to it. Other issues can leave the "fix for" version blank. From what I've seen so far of the project, the following are essential: a) Sort out not-yet-commons-ssl dependency (perhaps this could be left out altogether for the first release) b) Resolve all issues surrounding code copied into Kerby from other projects (I think I've seen a few comments that indicate this) c) Support UDP in the transport handlers d) More robust error handling in the transport handlers e) More extensive interop testing with other APIs/KDCs Colm.

From my point of view, many codes of the project are to be stabilized and tested. I’m a little sad I can’t be on the project in good much time. In a quick estimation, maybe in 2 months or so? Let’s see and try our best, maybe in another month will leave us much clear and answer this question well, ☺. How others would think? Thanks.

No pressure from my side, just wondering what the timeline is.
