affects appdata; which, IMO is a pretty big deal..

Apologies, but when you consider this with Ate's potential bug, I am not sure 
we should ship the release...

Matt, thanks for finding and reporting this. I agree this seems like a rather serious bug.

I haven't had time yet over the weekend to dive deeper into RAVE-708 but will try to find time for it coming days.

The merge of the model interfaces changes, the upgrade to OpenJPA 2.2.0, and on top of that, the upgrade to shindig 2.5.0-beta2, all happened in the last week. Overall this release gives me a bit uneasy feeling of being (too) unstable/unreliable and certainly as not enough tested.

I'd like to hear others opinion on it, but I'm currently inclined to say we should hold off/cancel shipping this release.

Maybe we should take the coming weeks to better validate and fix/improve the quality and reliability instead of keep rushing in more major changes. As well as JIRA could use a bit of scrubbing and cleaning up of old/outstanding issues I think.

We are also entering the summer holiday period (I myself will be 3 weeks away after next week) so maybe we should anticipate a bit slower progress anyway or at least lesser time or eyes available for properly review and test major changes.

All in all, I'm hesitant to push out a lesser tested/validated 0.13 (unlucky?) version out.

WDYT?
