-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [VOTE] Release jena-2.7.0-incubating (RC1) Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:38:11 +0000 From: Andy Seaborne <a...@apache.org> To: gene...@incubator.apache.org
Please vote on releasing the following as Apache Jena version 2.7.0-incubating This will be the first incubator release for Jena at Apache. == Overview Jena is a Java framework for building Semantic Web applications. Jena provides a collection of tools and Java libraries to help to develop semantic web and linked-data apps, tools and servers. Jena is composed of a number of modules. Historically, they have been released semi-independently, sort of "flying in formation", not as a single unit. We intend to switch to a more integrated build process and we want to create the time to do that by making this first Apache release with a hybrid of the way we used to do it and a more integrated build. For this first release, we need to release several modules at once as none have been released at Apache before. Our apologies for the extra checking work this results in. It also makes building everything from scratch involve more steps than an integrated build would do. Jena is delivered as maven artifacts for the jar for each module. It is also delivered as zip file containing all the jars and their dependencies so users have a "download and unpack" option. The version number of the release aligns with the main artifact and the packaged download. Different modules have different version numbers. Detailed version numbers: jena-top 0-incubating Parent POM jena-iri 0.9.0-incubating IRI parsing library jena-core 2.7.0-incubating Main Jena APIs for RDF and OWL. jena-arq 2.9.0-incubating SPARQL query engine. apache-jena 2.7.0-incubating Download, with all dependencies. == Project vote Apache archives: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-jena-dev/201112.mbox/%3C4EEDE5F6.1070409%40apache.org%3E Markmail: http://markmail.org/message/dob5hsk46ldqkqt4 == Maven staging repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachejena-334/ == Proposed dist/ area: http://people.apache.org/~andy/dist-apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating-RC-1/ == Keys https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/dist/KEYS == SVN tags Each module is currently tagged with the version and "-RC-1" to denote the first release candidate for this release cycle.
