Thanks Alex. The pdfbox issue is tracked at https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67023 and includes a link to what is blocking our upgrade.
In terms of the version names of the jars - the ASF has a rule that you must release what has been voted on. That means I can't create 5.2.4-RC1 jars - get those voted on and then go off and rebuild 5.2.4 jars without having those voted on. The jars are not in Maven Central yet, they are in a staging area. Anyone who tests the staging jars will need to consider cleaning out their local jar caches (e.g. their Maven local cache) after they test the staging jars. Only a small number of POI reviewers will use the staging jars. On Friday 22 September 2023 at 04:05:48 IST, Axel Howind <a...@dua3.com> wrote: +1 for the release. I just built and tested one of my own projects with the RC and everything seems to work just fine. Two notes: - I think release candidates should be published with an "rc“ in the version string, something like "5.3.4-rc1“ because otherwise when a second release candidate/the final release becomes available, Maven might stick with the old rc build in the local .m2. - pdfboc has been updated to 2.0.29. in the meantime, pdfbox released the next major release (3.0.0), but I think switching to pdfbox 3 should be more thoroughly tested and would rather be something for POI 5.3 > Am 21.09.2023 um 23:58 schrieb PJ Fanning <fannin...@apache.org>: > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/RELEASE-NOTES-5.2.4.txt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
