Hi, Voting +1. Terrific work, Nathan.
Tested: * "ant test" on Win XP, JDK 1.5 * "ant test" on Win XP, JDK 1.6 * Checked the md5sums. * Compared the zip contents to tar gz contents to jar file * reviewed the text files, API docs, quick glance at other docs * Ran all the examples. found a few classpath-related bugs. no big deal. (fixed several, opened JIRA on two) Question -- the "Changes" file in the docs is incorrect (missing beta2 stuff). Is there a generator for that file that needs to be run before creating the release artifact? Ok to have this be a miss for a beta, though it'd be nice to have it. (yes, next time I'll check this before the vote :-) WILL On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 4:29 PM, Nathan Bubna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There was no negative feedback on the test build (no feedback at all > actually), so i'm moving on to a vote. > > The test build is still available here: > > http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/velocity/engine/1.6-beta2/<http://people.apache.org/%7Enbubna/velocity/engine/1.6-beta2/> > > Please vote regarding your support for releasing this new test build as > Velocity Engine 1.6-beta2: > > [ ] +1 Let's do it > [ ] +0 Have fun; i don't care. > [ ] -0 Not sure about this, but i won't stop you. > [ ] -1 No, because __________________ > > The voting period is typically 72 hours, putting its close time as > roughly 4pm PST on Sunday, Oct 26th.
