Hi All
It's now about 6 months since our last alpha release, 3.0-alpha2. There's
been quite a bit of new functionality added to HSLF, and bug fixes to HSSF
and HWPF. So, I think a new release is probably in order.
Asking around, it seems that people are planning some new features early
in the new year, and a bit refactoring too (mainly in HSLF). Based on
that, I think we should probably make this release another alpha one, then
give serious thought to doing a beta release in Feb / March, when the new
features are in. However, I wouldn't object to calling this one a beta, if
people think that'd be better.
So, could people vote, and include any thoughts they might have too? The
options are:
+1a - release as alpha
+1b - release as beta
0 - I don't have a strong opinion either way
-1 - I don't think we should do a release now
I'm voting [+1a]. Voting will last for 1 week.
(As with all Apache release votes, the votes of everyone are taken account
of, but only PMC members have binding votes)
