It's been over six months since we released 1.6. Since then a number of bugs have been found in 1.6 and fixed in the 1.x codebase.
Some of these problems (e.g., TUSCANY-3587 and TUSCANY-3588) are quite serious from a user perspective and I'd like to propose that we produce a 1.6.1 bug fix release based on the 1.6 release branch with the existing JIRA fixes merged in. I'd be willing to volunteer as release manager for this. I searched JIRA for issues with an Affects Versions tag of Java-SCA-1.6 and a Fix For tag of Java-SCA-Next, and which are marked as fixed. I found the following: TUSCANY-3639 Wire interceptors not created until binding interceptors have executed in Service wire TUSCANY-3625 Issue converting case on methodName for WSDL-derived operation used with binding.ejb reference TUSCANY-3615 itest/implementation-osgi produces bundle cache errors TUSCANY-3589 Domain manager produces "get - Error getting data" message when doing a search TUSCANY-3588 NullPointerException when adding composite in Domain Manager GUI TUSCANY-3587 Domain manager produces "post - Error getting data" message when adding a composite TUSCANY-3561 Domain manager throws policy exception if definitions.xml file is read after .composite file TUSCANY-3551 ClassCastException in SCA Store Tutorial Integration Test TUSCANY-3540 Axis2SCAReferenceBindingProvider throws exception if servlet host not present TUSCANY-3490 Tuscany SCA binary distribution doesn't include implementation.web support As a starting point I would suggest that these are the only changes that should be included in 1.6.1. This should allow the release to be done quite quickly and easily as it avoids the possibility of problems caused by adding new functionality. Does anyone know of any JIRAs with bug fixes for 1.6 that don't appear in the above list, or any commits with bug fixes for 1.6 that don't have JIRAs? Simon
