Hi,

+1 from me

Checked out the tag 2.21-rc0 and ran build and hsqldb based tests
successfully
Did a simple example based test crawl of a webpage with <base
href="...">, ingest URIs are built correctly
Checked the logs, found no errors or warnings
Checked that mail notifications work (tested with mailhog)
Travis ci reports green for the release tag:
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/apache/manifoldcf/builds/243992093
Checked that Log4j 2.17 is contained in the built distribution

Yesterday Log4J 2.17.1 was released due to
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html#CVE-2021-44832
It is an RCE vulnerability, but only if the attacker has already the
capability to modify the log4j configuration.
I don't think that we have to respin the release for this one (base cvss
score is 6.6).

Many thanks for managing the release Karl and many thanks to all
contributors.

I wish everyone a happy new year 2022.

Markus

Hi,

Please vote on whether to release Apache ManifoldCF 2.21, RC0.
The release candidate can be found at
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/manifoldcf/apache-manifoldcf-2.21.
There is also a release tag at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/manifoldcf/tags/release-2.21-RC0.

As everyone is aware, this release updates log4j to version 2.17.  It also
fixes numerous other build-related issues on Unix systems.  Other changes
are listed in CHANGES.txt, as always.

Karl
