I apologize for resending this to the lists. I inadvertantly did not put [vote] in the subject line
so it may not have been apparent. The remainder of this e-mail is the same content that was
distributed last night.

Over the past few days the outstanding issues that were raised about the
first candidate have been addressed.
They were that we were missing the LICENSE.txt as well as Notices from
the distribution. I added them. Guillaume also pointed out that he
noted that there should be a Third Party Notices. This was not included
in the original 1.0 or previous distributions so I did not follow it
up. Thoughts?
Also, the 1.0 release notes were removed and updated the thread started
by Hernan. The Wiki has been updated and the wiki was the source used
to create the RELEASE-NOTES-1.1.txt file you will find in the build.
To avoid issues with the version number and the plugins I used rc1 which
Aaron had added in the plugins for supported versions so I trust that
works here.
JSisson addressed the problem with not being able to run Geronimo under
CygWin and Kevan worked with Aaron to address a new deployment problem
that left partially deployed artifacts in the repository.
I have taken this build and run some performance tests on it and we are
significantly better in 1.1 than we were in 1.0. We have a lot of
improvement left for CMP EJBs. It appears that the performance
improvements in the EJB tier has changed a race condition when running
under DB2. I'm afraid that the only way to address the problem is to
add a new feature to TranQL and OEJB that allow for the specification of
Isolation Levels for individual beans. This is a relatively simple
change but the build as it stands is specification compliant. I would
prefer to let this release go forward since CMP 2.1 EJBs are not nearly
as common as the other J2EE components. I would like to address this in
1.1.1 however I don't think we've locked down whether that would be
allowed or not. The change would affect TranQL and OpenEJB so they are
really included components so I'd be interested in people's feedback.
So please accept a named RC1. Your voting and feedback are for:
Geronimo 1.1
DayTrader 1.1
Specs 1.1
The vote will stand for 72 hours. Issues raised will be discussed and
if we conclude that there is a bug that must be addressed then we will
mitigate the problem and respin a new rc for a 72 hour vote.
If this is accepted all three of the above components will be released
simultaneously.
