This is the vote to approve the 4.0.0 TS3 "release", which is really a
"Test Snapshot" to test the release process and legal artifacts and
such. The files we are voting on are the third pass, now using the "TS3"
suffix as this is the second pass and the TS instead of RC to clarify
that this is a Test Snapshot more than a traditional Release Candidate
(which has clearly been confusing for quite a few people).
There were a couple of minor things that needed fixing so we're doing
another pass and restarting the vote. Hopefully this is the last pass
and we'll be good to go on this one. Thanks to everyone for feedback on
the others to get things cleaned up and such.
To reiterate, the main things we need to review for this test snapshot are:
1. PGP signature (.asc) and MD5 checksum (.md5) file validity
2. Proper license headers, NOTICE, and LICENSE files
3. Basic unarchive and run success
This is not meant to be a release in the traditional sense with a
branch, testing cycles, and so on, and is not meant to be a reference
point or used by end-users. It is an important part of the incubation
process for OFBiz at the ASF and after we approach a test snapshot
release we will submit it to the larger incubator community and the
incubator board for review.
Please note that everyone is welcome to vote, but only PPMC members have
"binding" votes. We'll leave this open until at least the end of day on
Tuesday to give people the some time to review it.
For more details on this release, including links to files to download,
see the Confluence page at:

Note that the best place to download the files is from the
people.apache.org links there.
