Dear Community, I'd like to announce that the first beta build for Apache NetBeans 11.2 from the release112 branch is available for download. Apologies for the delay. Further betas will be released on Oct 2nd and 9th as required. Release is aimed for Oct ~15th.
As per the release schedule, NB 11.2 is a non-LTS release, and will not have a full NetCAT process. However, feedback and testing from those on the dev@ and netcat@ lists would still be appreciated, particularly around new features. Please file issues in JIRA as necessary, with the affects and fix versions set to 11.2. Please take note of the Bug Priority Guidelines (link below), in particular so that we can address critical and blocking issues if they arise. **If making PRs to fix issues, please add the 11.2 milestone and add me as one of the reviewers** See the artefacts here: https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/NetBeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release112/14/artifact/dist/ The binary you most likely need is: https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/NetBeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release112/14/artifact/dist/netbeans-11.2-bin.zip The SHA512 sums if you would like to check them are provided there as well as here: fc6a67d675048cf6631785b6dd604eb4ca904609c58832b6573194b8a4ecaf95c73bdc079a1db2ffe082d2ce1f49fd413ff0a8e8c711d50c3b667447df0700ae ./netbeans-11.2-bin.zip 50430ccc87abd406979136b497e64830f34e31b8c778b38e7908d1297bb62e0b57fa33361f0ee2d80a62da3a622022e42b41a5e2d309e01bc39419f44c101a4b ./netbeans-11.2-source.zip New build infrastructure - known issues / changes: As you may notice from the links, this is the first release using the new build templates and Jenkins task (thanks Eric!). One thing this does is switch from hardcoded versions across the code base to filling this in from a central configuration file based on git branch and hash. * Local building from the source bundle is not correctly picking up the git info file in the source bundle. Run `cp nbbuild/gitinfo.properties nbbuild/build/` before running Ant (or otherwise manually create the nbbuild/build folder and copy gitinfo.properties into it). Will be fixed before full release as it's a blocking issue. * A git checkout of the release branch will also not correctly pick up the required git info - this will be looked at before release too. * File names are not currently marked with the beta1 suffix. On the other hand, the splash and window are. Win some, lose some! * The userdir will now be named differently for each beta and the final release. * Implementation versions across builds of the same sources still differ. It is planned to fix this prior to release (separate thread to follow).
