Hi Craig, > Since tck20 final depends on JPOX which depends on api20, maybe it > makes more sense to stage all three together. Is the intermediate > JPOX rc2 really necessary?
In my opinion it is necessary. JPOX 1.1.0-rc-2 has 30 JIRA issues fixed relative to 1.1.0-rc-1. This is a significant number and having a release very soon would mean that users have a few days to find issues or otherwise 1.1.0-final will be released. I would stress that I am keen to get 1.1.0-final out ASAP. The only remaining issue is persistent interfaces and hopefully with Erik's recent changes we should have that done in a day or so. Of course JPOX could do what we have done in the past and just release JPOX 1.1.0-rc-2 with a jdo2-snapshot.jar (downloadable from our SourceForge site) that it should be used with (we did this with the 1.1.0-rc-1 release so that people had something to work with for the few days before jdo2-api-2.0-rc1.jar appeared). Since the timeframe between JPOX 1.1.0-rc-2 and 1.1.0-final is likely only a week then doing this may be the most effective way. What do you think ? -- Andy
