Re: poi 5.2.4 release

2023-09-21 Thread PJ Fanning
I have created a release candidate and started a vote thread on this mailing 
list. I would appreciate if we could avoid svn commits that are not related to 
the release or fixing high priority bugs until after the vote concludes.

It's been a while since I did a POI release and it is a very manual process so 
I would appreciate if reviewers have a good look at the source distribution and 
jars.

Re: poi 5.2.4 release

2023-09-21 Thread PJ Fanning
I'll have a quick look around to see if any tidy up is needed but I suspect we 
are ok to do an RC in next day or 2. It suits me to cut an RC soon because I'm 
pretty busy with Apache Pekko releases and don't generally have much time to 
look at POI these days.

I'll try to update the release docs as I go. I tend to use the XMLBeans release 
docs as a guide because I think those ones are easier to follow. I might just 
clone the XMLBeans ones and make adjustments to make the new docs apply for POI.

Sounds great. I’ll try to make a run against our corpus as well.

Thank you!

Re: poi 5.2.4 release

2023-09-21 Thread Dominik Stadler
Hi,

Yes, I agree, a release soon would be good to get the many many
improvements out to users.

P.J., could you run the process once more and maybe update documentation
along the way so others can do it as well in the future? Not sure how
up-to-date
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/site/src/documentation/release-guide.txt
is to the actual current steps?

I can trigger a regression-run of the large corpus over the weekend to see
which regressions may have creeped in.

Thanks... Dominik.

poi 5.2.4 release

2023-09-20 Thread PJ Fanning
Should we be looking at doing a POI 5.2.4 release soon? It's about a year since 
the 5.2.3 release and we have quite a backlog of changes in trunk. There also 
some lib changes where CVEs have been issued with those downstream libs (eg 
commons-compress).
