All,
Apologies in advance if this is not in the appropriate format for a
vote request, please feel free to correct me as required.
As discussed in several threads earlier, this is a request for a PMC
vote to release Avalon Framework 4.3, Avalon Logkit 2.1, Excalibur
Components 2.1, Cornerstone Components 2.1, and Fortress Container
1.2, based on the earlier RC1-RC3 releases over the past few weeks.
There are several issues to consider, however, for the vote:
- As reported by Leif, qdox-1.5 has some incompatibilities when
compared to qdox-1.2 for Fortress meta-data. This can, hopefully, be
worked around in the immediate future by substituting qdox-1.2 in the
final application build, unitl a fix can be implemented in
Fortress-meta, and more importantly, in qdox.
Last year, I fixed this incompatibility in cocoon. If this need to be
fixed, I can try best this weekend. If the fix is not needed for this
release, I will try to fix that after this weekend, please add a JIRA
issue just to nor forgot about this. ;-)
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo
- Vadim has suggested a change for removing thread-locals in LogKit.
We can go forever with issues every week, so my preference is to
release now without the fix. We can immediately turn around, put the
fix in, release a SNAPSHOT, and then wait for the next release <TBD>.
- There have been requests for Fortress meta data changes and
additions (in Cornerstone). These also can be worked around with
configuration files, for now, so I don't believe we should hold the
release at the moment.
So, despite these issues, here's my +1 for a release. Community,
please provide feedback on your opinions, and PMC please provide your
votes. If passed, I'll plan on releasing on Sunday August 28th. If
you vote, -1, please don't do it because past history says we'll
release again only a year later, please do it for some other reason.
Thanks,
Shash
