My turn to join in the fun on this thread! As far as I'm concerned, the
layout changes are solid. Everyone who reported problems while I was working
on the changes is now reporting that everything works. All the zany tests I
could come up with that used to break things no longer break things. I'm
confident it's ready to ship.
As for the problems with JBoss, there have been some pretty major changes
since 1.5.3 to help fix various app server-related issues. I don't know if
the particular problems Samuel mentioned have been addressed, but I'm of the
opinion that the code has been stable for some time now and we just need to
release it. Any problems that still remain after the release can be fixed
for the next release.
I'm working on pushing the release now, but I don't know if I'll finish it
tonight. It'll happen in the next day or two, anyway.
