Release Plan for Apache Tomcat 4.0
==================================
Introduction:
------------
This document is a release plan for the *final* release of Apache Tomcat 4.0.
We've been waiting for the underlying specifications (Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2)
to go final. As these specifications are now in the Executive Committee voting
step of the Java Community Process, this time is now at hand.
The goal of the Apache Tomcat 4.0 final release is to provide a stable
container that supports 100% of the mandatory requirements of the Servlet 2.3
and JSP 1.2 specifications, as well as many useful additional features. To
that end, a series of beta releases have been distributed, and the focus has
been primarily on specification compliance and other bug fixes, rather than
adding functionality.
This Release Plan proposes the following schedule:
Monday, September 9, 2001 Tomcat 4.0 Release Candidate 1
Thursday, September 12, 2001 Tomcat 4.0 Release Candidate 2
Monday, September 17, 2001 Tomcat 4.0 Final Release
In order to complete final release, all outstanding Bugzilla bug reports
against Tomcat 4.0 need to be fixed or deferred for later releases. This
Release Plan proposes the following classification of current outstanding
bug reports in the bug tracking system, sorted by component and their ID
numbers in our bug tracking system at:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/
Please review the bug reports, and their classification as "must have",
"nice to have", or "address later". Lobbying for changes in classification
can take place on the TOMCAT-DEV mailling list. In addition, if you have a
bug report or enhancement that you wish to have considered prior to final
release, please submit a bug report as quickly as possible.
