I know now may not be the best time to have a vote, but I would ask the PMC to vote on approving the release of jakarta-oro 2.0.8. The current code base contains important bug fixes and has gone too long without a public release.
[ ] +1 I approve the release of jakarta-oro version 2.0.8. [ ] -1 I do not approve the release of jakarta-oro version 2.0.8. This vote will last until the end of Saturday 27th, 2003 (72 hours minus the Christmas holiday). In accordance with http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html, at least three binding +1 votes are required for this vote to pass and the number of +1 votes must exceed the number of -1 votes. Non-PMC members are encouraged to cast their non-binding votes (please indicate your vote is non-binding to facilitate vote tabulation). RELEASE INFORMATION: The 2.0.8 release will be a maintenance release incorporating the following changes since the 2.0.7 release made in January (taken from http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-oro/CHANGES?content-type=text/plain): o examples moved to an examples package and com.oroinc migration tool moved to tools package. o Fixed bug whereby compiling an expression with Perl5Compiler.MULTILINE_MASK wasn't always having the proper effect with respect to the matching of $ even though Perl5Matcher.setMultiline(true) exhibited the proper behavior. For example, the following input " aaa bbb \n ccc ddd \n eee fff " should produce "bbb ", "ddd ", and "fff " as matches for both the patterns "\S+\s*$" and "\S+ *$" when compiled with MULTILINE_MASK. Perl5Matcher was only producing the correct matches for the second pattern, producing only "fff " as a match for the first pattern unless setMultiline(true) had been called. This has now been fixed. o Fixed embarrassing bug whereby an expression like (A)(B)((C)(D))+ when matched against input like ABCDE would produce matching groups of: "A" "B" "" null "D" instead of "A" "B" "CD" "C" "D". These changes have been available to the public in the CVS repository for testing since May 2003. There are no outstanding/unresolved issue reports for the code. Daniel Savarese (dfs.apache.org) will serve as the release manager for this release.
