I'd like to go for a bug-fix release 2.12.1, since we have a few issues from both 2.11 and 2.12 that should be fixed.
We have this interesting problem releated to https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-809. A new feature for 2.12, this allows you to select which "groups" to use with some pretty sophisticated grammar. (John; did any docs get committed for this feature ??) Well the problem is that the grammar uses "&&" and "||", and it turns out these are almost *impossible* to escape correctly on the command line. We have 4 IT's in surefire that currently only pass on linux due to this issue. (When specified in the pom, this is no problem. It's when trying to send them in from the command line things get hairy. I haven't even been able to *determine* how to escape & for windows cmd.exe) Now none of our command line stuff seems to handle this escaping. The best solution I can come up with is to add "AND" and "OR" as synonyms to the grammar ? After all, users wishing to specify from the command line will run into the same problem.... Since it seems to be undocumented right now, we could consider just *changing* to and/or. I don't really care as long as it can be sent properly from the command line..... WDYT ?
