Dear Apache NetBeans community, The third (and hopefully final) beta build for Apache NetBeans 12.3 is available.
Changes between beta2 and beta3 can be seen at: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release123/10/ This is hopefully the final beta before voting! Please help with assessing, triaging and closing issues at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues Try out 12.3 Beta 3 especially with nb-javac installed, please. As per the release schedule, NB 12.3 is a non-LTS release, and will not have a full NetCAT process. However, feedback and testing from those on the dev@ and netcat@ lists would still be appreciated, particularly around new features. Please file issues in JIRA as necessary, with the effects and fix versions set to 12.3. Please take note of the Bug Priority Guidelines (link below), in particular so that we can address critical and blocking issues if they arise. **The following rules are applied to pull requests from now until release:** PR's intended to be included in the 12.3 release: - Limited to fixes and (ideally) tied to a JIRA ticket. - Base on the delivery branch. - Mark with 12.3 milestone. - Add the release manager(s) as reviewers (in this case Neil C. Smith and myself). - Will be merged by the release manager(s). - Will be assessed against the bug priority guidelines. PR's with features for a future release: - Base on the master branch. - Will be reviewed and merged in the usual way. - If possible stay away from big refactoring. - If possible do not overlap with fixes for 12.3 (delivery will be merged to master regularly).
