Hi, [x] +1 Release the packages as Apache Tika 0.5.
The only issue I see with the release are the temporary Maven release plugin files found in the source archive. Did you take the package from target/ or from target/checkout/target/ after mvn release:perform? The latter location should contain a clean build from a fresh checkout of the svn tag, and thus should not contain the extra files. Alternatively we need to fix the release assembly to avoid the extra files. Anyway, I don't see this as a blocker, just something to sort out before Tika 0.6. BR, Jukka Zitting
