The version is : RELEASE240
------------------------
Voting requirements
Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code
package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on
your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets
the requirements of the ASF policy on releases -
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management
In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps.
1. Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it.
2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files (there are branding
folders with the name *.jar).
3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file
4. Build it using the README provided by the artefact.
5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build
process and try running it.
In addition to checking the sources, you may check the associated convenience
binary zip, installers, nbms and maven staging at the
links above.
You are not expected to check every convenience binary.
As well as checking any artefact functions correctly, you should check that it
has been correctly signed by a PMC member,
and that the source being voted on is sufficient to build the relevant binary.
This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and -1 as
usual. (Please justify -1)
Please mark your vote as binding only if you're an Apache NetBeans PMC member
to help with voting admin.
Only respond if you are going to vote - this is NOT a discussion thread.
Apache NetBeans 24 will be released if and when this vote passes.
