Thank you, Stéphane, for the review and the vote! I greatly appreciate it.

For everyone on the list... Please do feel free to vote. In fact, please
feel _encouraged_ to vote. The rules for release votes are that the vote
needs to run for at least 72 hours, and have 3 "binding" +1 votes. The
"binding" bit means from someone on the PMC. However, please don't let that
deter you from reviewing and voting - its easy to feel that "your vote
doesn't count". It definitely does count. Your review, and any questions
are really appreciated. We've had non-PMC folks find issues in releases in
past that others missed, and their non-binding -1 and explanation enabled
the release to be fixed. If you're looking for ways to participate in the
project, reviews and feedback are great ways to start. If you're unsure on
how to review a VOTE, please do ask - but here are my general guidelines:

* Check that the software works - download the .jar file, drop it in TomEE
running your application and see if there are errors. If anything looks
wrong, please do report it.
* Checkout the tag and run the build and the tests? Does the tag look
correct? Does the build run without errors?
* Run a source header check for the licence using Apache RAT. Are any
source files missing the ASF header?
* Finally (and this is the important part), there is a legal aspect to
reviewing releases. We need to ensure that the LICENCE and NOTICE files
have the correct text, and attribute 3rd party library usage correctly.
This is documented here: http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html and
worth a look.

Thank you again for the votes and reviews.

Jon
