0 issues! Congrats everyone. 2.9 was quite a beast.So looks like we should get a few things in order. 1. Anyone dying to be release manager? I think I could do it, but I'm kind of pressed for time ... 2. Lets start crawling all over this release - bugs/javadoc/packaging etc. 3. In regards to that - I'd like to suggest that we don't do the release branch early for 2.9. I know we normally make the release branch so that further dev can continue on trunk. In this case I don't think that is wise. I propose that we lock down trunk for a while, to force people to concentrate on *this* release. Otherwise we divide our limited forces into two - those working on release, and those working on trunk and beyond. We can kind of enforce this by making the release branch last minute I think.I think 3.0 is a little bit special: We move to Java 1.5, so in my opinion, we should not only remove deprecations, but also add Generics and remove StringBuffer and so on. I have some "patches" for that available, e.g. the casting currently needed for the Attributes API can be more elegantly solved by using generics (something like "T addAttribute(Class<T extends Attribute>)"). If we do not add generics to the public API in 3.0, we have to wait one major release longer to add them.
Yes, I added that already in the very first AttributeSource patch - it's currently commented out at the bottom of the class I think. Probably a bit out of date. I definitely want to do that to improve readability of the attributes, it's much nicer with generics. That's how I started coding it and why I started liking the syntax, before I needed to make it a bit ugly for JDK 1.4.
