Thanks Andy "The changes (post TDB 0.9.3) for optimized and correct transactions are new and really could do with bedding down. If you could go beyond basic testing that would be helpful so things get raised before a .4 release."
we are in the process of getting more comprehensive tests done, but that process is quite resource intensive as you can imagine. If there is no prospect of having a .4 release on time, it is also more difficult to justify. You have to see it this way: we can easily test snapshots (pre-releases) with our own development automated tests and some limited scalability tests of some of our clients. Beyond that, it becomes cumbersome to test snapshots because we can never get legal approval for these, meaning we can't bring the changes into our main development stream etc. We are then forced to produce custom builds and equip our testers with these. Nothing is impossible, but some things are more difficult and more importantly, take more time. "The deprecations in jena-core could do with some inspection before a release because the point of deprecating them is that they can then get removed." Right, however, I assume that for a .4, these APIs would just be deprecated and not removed, right? "The SDB release cycle is going quite well - and doing a lightweight community "Release Candidate" seems to have been a success. We have reports, and something has been reported that could do with investigation. " Right, I understand that, although I am not sure if an SDB release has to be a prereq for a .4 service release "It would be nice to release LARQ as a post-incubator." I agree, but here as well, is that really a prereq for a service release?

If you could go beyond basic testing that would be helpful so things get raised before a .4 release. Quite a few JIRA have had input in the last week or so and I haven't managed to get a picture of where we are. The Fuseki as a WAR file (JENA-201) has lots of votes. The deprecations in jena-core could do with some inspection before a release because the point of deprecating them is that they can then get removed. The SDB release cycle is going quite well - and doing a lightweight community "Release Candidate" seems to have been a success. We have reports, and something has been reported that could do with investigation. It would be nice to release LARQ as a post-incubator. Things are busy. I wonder if an RC phase is the best way forward. (all) What things would ideally be done before a RC phase can start? Andy
