We started talking about this a while back, but the thread died after some initial input on the work to be accomplished. So, I am bringing it up again. From the previous discussion, we had the following items (please speak up if I have forgotten anything). I have put names next to items (items that person mentioned prev):
- New Feature Related (complete, review, cleanup, document, more tests): - Plugins (Mark) - Receivers (Mark) - Watchdogs (Mark) - JoranConfigurator (Ceki, Curt) - Filters and LBEL (Ceki) - PatternLayout (Ceki) - LoggingEvent (Ceki) - Performance Related - Analysis, comparing current performance against 1.2.9. (Elias) - LoggingEvent serialization (Ceki) - Concurrency appenders (Elias) (from previous discussions, I believe there is probably more for this category) - Test Related: - Integration tests with Jetty and Tomcat (Ceki) - Cross LS project compatibility (Curt) Documentation Related: - Better documentation (Ceki, et al) - API differences since v1.2.9 documentation (Mark) (there used to be a tool out there one could use to generate a JavaDoc that showed all of the differences between 2 versions of a library. Hopefully I can dig it up.) Is there anything else? I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't think a June release is doable with just this list of items. We are pretty much at the beginning of May at this point. I would like to propose that we plan for a mid-July beta-1 release. Focus until then would be completion of all New Feature related tasks, giving us time to test and consolidate that work. Performance and Test Related items can also be worked on during that time. Some of that work can spill into the beta time period, but no major api/class changes should happen after start of beta, so if you are thinking of major changes, now is the time to air them. I'm going to continue to drive this as I feel that a new log4j release needs to happen before the end of this year. I think we could make a September release candidate. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
