Dear all, This is a kind of notice / discussion.
Frequent visitors of GitHub might notice, that I've created a new Milestone NB16u1. There are a handful of important fixes in our Gradle Support that would improve the Gradle/JDK compatibility. I think those are important, as some of them are fixing regressions.
It's a bit unfortunate that these fixes have arrived late of our NB16 release phase. They could be annoying, but I would not stop the release train on them. So I've decided to step up and create an unusual patch release for NB16. I would like it to keep this update release low profile, so we could deliver it ASAP.
Some things to know: * Created a branch for this named: release161 * The milestone is NB16u1 * I'm going to create PR-s against the new branch, by cherry-picking PR-s landed on master. * Once done, there would be (hopefully) one vote round on the whole source release zip. * NB16u1 will be delivered trough our Update Center. (Of course, the zip source distribution would be available, but the convenience binary would be just the nbm package) * I would steer this small update release as an RM, if there would be no objection. Current PR candidates to be included in NB16u1: * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5014 * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4995 * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4984 * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4985 Also I hope that there would be a fix for this as well: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5015 As usual feedback is welcome! -- Laszlo Kishalmi
