OK, Apache Roller 5.1 is a reality, with binding +1 votes from Greg,
Dave, Craig and myself and no other votes.
I'll promote Roller 5.1 today, upping the next version to 5.1.1-SNAPSHOT.
Cheers,
Glen

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
