Hi, It is the final call to Gradle review.
I have prepared JMeter 5.2.0 release candidate 1 to evaluate how Gradle-based build works for release process. Note: I do NOT intend to release v5_2_0_RC1, and the RC will likely be deleted. The main purpose is to let everybody review artifacts. Below goes a copy-paste (!!!) from build script output. Here's an asciinema: https://asciinema.org/a/259862 8<----------------------------------------->8 The first release candidate for JMeter 5.2.0 (9cb34844b0) has been prepared, and your votes are solicited. This release is mainly a bugfix Please, test this release candidate (with load tests and/or functional tests) using Java 8+ on Linux/Windows/macOS, especially on the changes. Feedback is very welcome within the next 72 hours. You can read the New and Noteworthy section with some screenshots to illustrate improvements and full list of changes at: https://apache.github.io/jmeter-site-preview/site/changes.html JMeter is a Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance.
