I have prepared a release candidate for apache-optiq-0.9.0-incubating [1]. This would be our first release under the Apache process.
This will be a source-only release. (Adding a binary release would complicate the process, but under Apache source releases are more important, because they are about the code. Since Optiq is a library, most people will be happy with the pre-built artifacts that will be available in Nexus [2].) I would like several people to validate this release. Validate it against the formal check-list [3] and also against the informal criteria “what would be my impression if I just downloaded this heap of bytes?” Please post to this list if you are willing to help. If you find problems, or what you suspect to be a problem, please log JIRA cases. When you have completed the process, please mail this list. If I don’t hear objections, I will put this to a release vote shortly. The process [4] is for the project to first pass a vote for a release, then for a vote in the Incubator PMC. Once this second vote succeeds, the staged release is published. If either of the votes fails, we fix issues and make another release candidate.
