Hi Team,
Here's a happy email I've been looking forward to send, a vote to
release Roller 5.1. The release notes below detail much of what was
changed from Roller 5.0.x.
Binaries for release candidate #2 are here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller/roller-5.1/v5.1.0/. (RC #1
didn't last very long.)
I'll be holding the voting through the end of Sunday to give people the
full weekend to test if they wish, however, if you're aware of problems
that shouldn't be postponed to a future 5.1.1 please report back as soon
as you're aware of them.
Please be careful with commits to trunk until the vote is closed and the
artifacts are released; whatever you commit becomes part of 5.1.
The user community is also encouraged to test this release candidate and
let us know of problems that they find, but make sure to do a backup
first of your Roller database if you wish to test against a current blog
as Roller 5.1 makes significant nonreversable database modifications as
part of the upgrade. Alternatively, and more safely, RC #2 can be
tested with a new database and a test blog.
To start the voting, here is my +1.
Regards,
Glen
