Just a reminder :
The release process is following the same general procedures established for the Apache HTTPD project <http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html> and Jakarta Commons products <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/>, and utilize the HTTPD numbering scheme.
The release will initially be given an Alpha status and made available through the Release Manager's home directory. Pursuant to a Majority Vote on the /commons-dev/ Mailing List, the release may be moved to the public release directory. The vote may also serve to reclassify the release to be of *Beta* or *General Availability* (GA) quality, as defined by the Apache HTTPD project. Subsequent votes may reclassify the release, either to promote it or to demote it, as need be.
