We need people to test the release candidate on your projects, especially on different operating systems and Java versions. Just send a short reply to this thread that it works for you. See method below.
Download the release candidate and supporting files: http://people.apache.org/~crossley/forrest-07-rc1/ For Windows: apache-forrest-0.7rc1.zip For UNIX: apache-forrest-0.7rc1.tar.gz Get the *.asc and *.md5 that match your chosen download. It was packed from SVN revision 190503 Java 1.4 or later is required. If you want to verify the download, then follow: http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#verify Otherwise just get on with testing. Testing concludes Sunday 2005-06-19 14:00 UTC If there have been changes over the week, then another release candidate will be Friday 2005-06-17 at 22:00 UTC The release date is Sunday 2005-06-19 at 14:00 UTC Anyone can test, please don't leave it up to just a few people. So we have approximately 6 days. Here are some hints: * Ensure that the compressed archive will unpack properly. * Verify the release, especially if you are a committer. * Follow the README.txt and index.html * Set environment variables. * Don't worry too much about minor bugs. We are looking for blockers, such as it will not run. Many known issues are recorded at our Jira, perhaps you can add more. * Make a fresh site ... cd my-new-dir forrest seed forrest run ... use the local jetty server. forrest ... build the whole site from the command-line. forrest war ... use your own full Jetty or Tomcat. * Try it on the Forrest core docs ... cd site-author forrest run * Forrest was already pre-built. Try building it again. cd main build clean build build test * Try it on your own project, especially if you have a project sitemap and use some extra plugins. * Please report any problems to the mailing lists and we will collate them in the issue tracker. Then we will decide which ones need fixing now. ----------------
