Re: Core vote [Re: mod_python 3.3.0 beta available for testing]

[Gregory (Grisha) Trubetskoy]

Sorry it took a little long, 3.3.0b is out there, and the web page has 
been updated.

The proposed announcement follows, I'll be sending it out some time over 
X-Mas, please respond before then if you think something needs to be 
added/changed:


Subject: ANNOUNCE: Mod_python 3.3.0 Beta

The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache HTTP Server Project are 
pleased to announce the 3.3.0 Beta release of mod_python.

Version 3.3.0b of mod_python features several new functions and attributes 
providing better access to apache internals, as well as many bug fixes and 
various performance and security improvements. A detailed description of 
the changes is available in Appendix A of the mod_python manual, also 
available here

http://www.modpython.org/live/mod_python-3.3.0b/doc-html/app-changes-from-3.2.10.html

Beta releases are NOT considered stable and usually contain bugs.

This release is intended to solicit widespread testing of the code. We 
strongly recommend that you try out your existing applications and 
experiment with new features in a non-production environment using this 
version and report any problems you may encounter so that they can be 
addressed before the final release.

Preferred method of reporting problems is the mod_python user list 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mod_python 3.3.0b is available for download from:

http://httpd.apache.org/modules/python-download.cgi

For more information about mod_python visit http://www.modpython.org/

Regards,

The Apache mod_python team.

I'm not "core" but I think its good practice to officially release this

I didn't test it because I was waiting for the core vote :-)

I'm not sure what we're voting on here, and I'm not sure what I meant 
by "the next level" either. :)

Is this a vote to give 3.3.0 beta a wider release (apache mirrors and 
so on), or a vote to go right to the 3.3.0 final release?

I'm +1 either way. As I recall we didn't get much additional testing 
as a result of uploading the betas to the apache mirrors in the past. 
The people most likely to chip in with testing are already here on 
python-dev.

Having the 3.2.x stable branch certainly facilitated releasing quick 
fixes for 3.2. There is no reason why we can't do the same with 3.3, 
so my inclination is to do an official 3.3.0 final release now rather 
than later.
