I did a cursory test of a fresh installation of RC6. It looks fine to me.
I noticed it has the permanent Remember Me bug which I've filed as
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-1374.
The workaround is to drop the cookie manually from the browser.
I will look at the bug in more detail later today. I don't know if we
consider this serious enough an issue to hold release.
It is a potential security issue if the user thinks they have logged out and
leaves a browser.
This bug doesn't affect Roller 2.3.1 which I am currently running (and am
about to try upgrading).
I'm hoping to hear other opinions on this bug before I cast my vote.
--a.
Some notes on my installation.
Downloaded and verified signatures on all four zip/tar.gz binary/source
distributions. All OK.
For installation I used only the tar.gz binary distribution. I did not
examine or try building from the source distribution.
I downloaded required-jars-roller-3.1.tar.gz runtime jar bundle from
roller.dev.java.net site
I used mail and activation jars I had previously downloaded.
Runtime Platform:
- Apache Tomcat 5.5.17 (from Apache distribution)
- Sun JDK 1.5.0_11 for Linux
- MySQL 5.0.27 (from mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6 rpm)
- I use InnoDB as the default storage engine and UTF-8 as the default
char set
- Linux (Fedora Core 6)
The only custom properties I set were uploads.dir and search.index.dir to
installation-specific values, and log4j.properties to use a specific log
filename.

Subject: Re: VOTE: Release Apache Roller 3.1
Jon Stevens downloaded RC5, tested and found a couple of bugs in the
new File Upload sub-folder feature, so I fixed that and couple of
footer links.
Now we have RC6

And the updated change list here

Download, test and please VOTE!
