I've been looking through Jira for issues already targeting the upcoming releases and resolved some of them lately.
This one should be easy: NH-3638 Was discussed in nhusers and occurs randomly in production. Proposed fix needs to be improved. I would like to see a fix targeting the 3.3.x branch and do a 3.3.3.SP2. Then there are some issues targeting 3.4.0. Mostly NH-3412 and NH-3432 require a decision - the other seems to be of no particular importance to 3.4.0. https://nhibernate.jira.com/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20NH%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%203.4.0.GA%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20due%20ASC%2C%20priority%20DESC%2C%20created%20ASC For 4.0 there is just https://nhibernate.jira.com/browse/NH-3594 for which a pull request has been provided. It caused additional test failures however so I had to revert it. So the fix needs to be improved, but this could easily be a 4.0.1 item instead. I will do a release candidate for 4.0 this afternoon (CET), with or without any of the above. /Oskar 2014-08-06 2:05 GMT+02:00 Patrick Earl <hyn...@gmail.com>: > Is there anything I can direct my energies into that could help us get the > release out?
