It is only a milestone version which means a work in progress. The fixes made so far are really minor, no need to make any release. If you take a look at the road map, you will see that I do not need to fix tiny issues, I need to rework the additional attributes which will transfer events about tests. There are testId and RunOrder. Without them the BIGGER fixes, than the ones you are aiming for, would not be possible, e.g. better xml marshaller, logs from parallel tests and re-run which is currently unstable due to it relies on the order of test run. The next thing which seems to be easier and also necessary is the execution of UUID and Script which is needed by Cucumber and junit5. The sad thing is that mostly common users participate and they become committers. Our official committers do not. So Enrico, pls participate in coding because many of us like performing releases but there are only few hard workers. Making a release is easy but taking the responsibility for the binaries in the world is much harder. So, pls participate in Stackoverflow like Karl does and me, participate in coding and then we can talk about taking a benefit from a release.
Yeah, one more very important thing. We introduced TCP connector for making the above plan possible. The user found that the TCP feature hangs somehow, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1881. It took me several months to understand the rootcase. It has nothing to do with TCP itself, nothing but process pipes which are full of bytes before the tcp makes handshaking. Releasing the work in the middle and unstable is silly. You know when I found the root cause? It was at 1:30 early in the morning. Again pls come to work and spend less time in discussions, let;s work in PRs on GitHub and we will have a chance to make releases earlier. I am sorry that I am a bad guy, but I asked Enrico several times to work in this OSS as well. I know Enrico that you participate in another OSSes too but you have to decide, since the day has only 24 hours, how much you will do and what you will do, but sorry making a release without working on it is not adequate.
