Hi, I'm not really following River closely these days due to a lack of time amongst other things although I'm a little bit busy with resurrecting the Cheiron project. However I was triggered by the subject.
The release notes can be found here as all issues have been assigned to a certain release, in this case AR2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12312604&styleName=Text&projectId=12310600&Create=Create You can include the list into the release notes or you can link to the web based one (the above). I noticed that most of the issues still needs to be closed as they are still in the resolved state. Although I refrain fom further opinions about whether to release or not, etc. I noticed 2 things. 1) the number of changes seems impressive, but most of them are fairly (although important) trivial fixes, clarifications and therefore I think it doesn't represent a 2.2.0 release, rather a 2.1.2 release. 2) I noticed the name Jini changed into River in all release notes documents, which is not correct, and not even consistent with the usage of Jini in the Javadoc, Specs, etc. It has been discussed in the past that River is an implementation of the Jini Specifications with additional stuff that people find interesting as part of the project, but maybe this opinion has changed since the first release in which case the initial committers have been sleeping, which is probably not far from the truth in River participation terms ;-) Maybe it would have been better if this wasn't committed directly but added to a JIRA issue for review, or with a little bit more time between the announcement and the actual action.
