Hi all, Please vote on releasing FreeMarker 2.3.34!
This is "attempt 2", after the previous 2.3.24 release voting did not pass. The only significant difference compared to the previous attempt should be that now the bug fix for the "sep" tag parsing is only enabled if incompatibleImprovements >= 2.3.34. ATTENTION! Delete the previous org.freemarker:freemarker:2.3.34 artifact from your local Maven repository (~/.m2/repository/org/freemarker), or else Maven will keep using it! Release Notes: https://freemarker.apache.org/builds/2.3.34-voting/versions_2_3_34.html Before proceeding, you should know that FreeMarker 2.3.x, for a long time, always releases a normal and a "gae" variant on the same time, which are technically two independent source trees (Git branches). The "gae" variant contains a few small modification in the Java source code to be Google App Engine compliant, and has freemarker-gae as the Maven artifact name. Otherwise the normal and the "gae" branches are identical. Hence they will be voted on together. The commits to be voted upon are: - Normal (non-gae) variant: https://github.com/apache/freemarker/commit/7926e97719a91c69995e776dd1aae3d38584d8af Commit hash: 7926e97719a91c69995e776dd1aae3d38584d8af - "gae" variant: https://github.com/apache/freemarker/commit/e263604781736d182191f4603fad94d1333b0034 Commit hash: e263604781736d182191f4603fad94d1333b0034 The artifacts to be voted upon are located here: where the source release artifacts are: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/freemarker/engine/2.3.34-attempt-2/source/ - Normal (non-gae) variant: apache-freemarker-src-2.3.34.tar.gz - "gae" variant: apache-freemarker-gae-src-2.3.34.tar.gz See the "Building FreeMarker" section of the README.md inside them for build instructions! As described there: - You need to add the gradle-wrapper.jar manually - You need multiple JDK versions installed, on locations where Gradle will find them - You may need -Pfreemarker.allowUnsignedReleaseBuild=true gradle command line option to building everything (not just the jar) The release artifacts are signed with the following key: https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/ddekany.asc For convenience, we also provide binaries, which also need to be checked: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/freemarker/engine/2.3.34-attempt-2/binaries/ and Maven artifacts in the ASF Staging Repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/org/freemarker/freemarker/2.3.34/ Please try out the package and vote! The vote is open for a minimum of 72 hours or until the necessary number of votes (3 binding +1s) is reached.
