Below is a draft message for SDB RC community testing. This is to go to
users@ and dev@ to reach as many SDB users as possible.
I've asked for a general report not run the test suite because
environmental variability means that the test suite can't be assumed to
be enough and it requires effort to set up.
Comments? Suggestions?

At the moment, SDB is available as a snapshot build of the development
system or as an old, non-Apache, build from some time ago.
We'd like to do an Apache release of SDB but we need your help to do so.
The barrier to a release is testing - there are many more combinations
and external factors for SDB than any other component. We, the
developers, can't hope to cover all the possibilities.
So over the next month or so, we are going to run a release cycle for
SDB. We ask SDB users to test the current snapshot build and report
success or failures to this list including in your own development
setups. This does not mean SDB will be included in the general Jena
release - no decision has been made.
All reports are helpful - database type, database version, OS and
version, java and version, etc because these can all make a difference.
Even if someone else has reported something similar, please do send a
report - we do keep finding apparently similar setups that are not similar.
The snapshot repository contains a zip distribution as well as the maven
artifacts:

The current version is:
1.3.5-20120829.115815-1.jar
but testing any 1.3.5 dated from today onwards is fine. (Nexus clears up
old builds periodically).
Also: if there are any JIRA contributions that have been overlooked, do
prompt us and we'll try to include them.
