Hi, The issue list for the 1.2 release is quickly converging, so here's a hopefully final update to the release plan. Currently there are only two open issues (JCR-585 and JCR-670) remaining, and I consider only JCR-585 a blocker for the release. Other minor fixes might still get included in the release if time permits.
Since this release contains a number of both structural and functional changes, I'd like to reserve some time for testing and stabilization of the codebase before building the release. To achieve this without blocking development in the svn trunk I'm planning to create the 1.2 branch during next weekend. I will then create one or two candidate builds from the branch to gather feedback, and proceed with the official release vote once all potential issues are resolved. See below for a summary of the planned release. Comments and suggestions are still welcome. Please speak up now if you still want some new feature or improvement included in the release. After branching 1.2 during next weekend I don't plan including anything else than essential bug fixes in the release. The Apache Jackrabbit 1.2 release contains a number of improvements and new features over the previous releases. Most notable changes include the introduction of a clustering feature and various query improvements. The build environment has been upgraded to Maven 2 along with updates to the project structure and new versions of the Apache Lucene and Apache Derby dependencies.
