Andy,
I saw the message. I should have followed up on it.
"Are you going to test pre-release if we start a release process? We
have just done a public testing cycle on SDB and it was worked well."
yes. We are already testing recent 2.7.4 snapshots and if there is
something like a pre-release, I'd kick of another test cycle for sure. The
only thing I am saying is that we cannot get to the same level of depth
with an unofficial release because I am limited in my ability to
propagate. That is not something in my power to change.
Nor mime. It's an IBM choice - nothing to do with the project.

Never contested that
'Jena 2.7.3 was Aug 07. Less than 2 months."
2 months is pretty long for us and the previous minor releases were much
faster in succession. Also, time is not that important, but what is in it.
The number of TDB fixes is very large and we know for a fact that 2.7.3 is
unusable for us
I guess my e-mail was more to bring the debate around the release to the
forefront since we have deadlines and an adoption for 2.7.4 is important
for us. From previous communication, it was just not clear what the plan
was.

says December. What's changed?
I have only just managed to persuade you et al that JENA-289 is not
"critical". That didn't help.
Andy
thanks
Simon
