Hi, folks.  0.20 alpha is here:

  http://people.apache.org/~jross/qpid-0.20-alpha/

My testing on Fedora 16 x86_64 showed two test suites failing, the cpp test suite under cmake (I think this one is expected) and the cpp test suite under autotools. Notes on what passed and what didn't are here:

  http://people.apache.org/~jross/qpid-0.20-alpha-testing.txt

Please give the alpha a try in your environment. Consider exercising a part of the code that others may not. Most important, report your findings, positive or negative. I really appreciate it.

To quickly recap our standard policy: between today's alpha and beta in the coming weeks, new features or refactorings can be included only if they are first discussed on this list and determined to represent a minimal threat to the release's quality. Bug fixes, in contrast, are unencumbered.

Finally, many of our contributors are working both on 0.20 and on proton 0.2, and it turns out there is a schedule conflict. Proton 0.2 is being prepared in time for the ApacheCon in early November. That's about the same time that we would ordinarily be finishing the 0.20 beta.

I propose we extend the 0.20 beta date by two weeks to November 14th to give these contributors time to prepare Proton 0.2 and complete what they set out to do for 0.20. Under this scheme, all the remaining 0.20 dates would move out a corresponding two weeks, but the 0.22 schedule would be unchanged. Thanks for your consideration; I of course invite any and all comments or objections.

Thanks,
Justin
