Hi Werner,
A snapshot release would be useful to get us by the issue we are facing
at the moment. It would keep us going until the official release of
1.2.1
When you say manage as properly as a golden one, what does that include?
No difference to the main ones, in terms of testing. We have an
integraztion test suite that we use before committing any code. As such,
no negative side effects if an area of functionality is completely
covered by the test suite. But please do not expect 100% coverage .. ;-).
Is it a supported release?
Yes, an no. We will support it, in that we reply to questions and accept
Jira issues. But there's gotta be a difference in what we offer (in
terms of commitment and time). As always, a snapshot release is a
snapshot of the current code base. Tested, yes. But it could be that
things will change until we make a release. Not very frequently, and
hopefully not on the public interfaces, but we are dealing with bugs
that break old contracts, etc.
To what level will it be tested?
See above.
When could this release be available?
Within one or two days. It's for myself (or any committer) just a mattr
of building it and deploying it to the Maven snapshot repo.
How do I get a snapshot release
from maven snapshot repository?
If you don't use Maven, simply download the JARs using HTTP.
Thanks,
Alex.

Subject: Re: [castor-user] castor 1.2.1 release date?
Hi,
not 100% sure, but looking at the number of open issues in Jira, I
reckon this will be away a few weeks of time.
Having said that, I do acknowledge that there's some interesting bugs
that have been fixed since 1.2 has been made available, and that an
early 1.2.1 release might make sense.
Question: would you be happy to leave with a snapshot release, i.e. a
release that we manage as properly as a golden one, but that is only
made available through the Maven snapshot repository of the Codehaus ?
If that's an option to you, that could be made available easily.
Regards
Werner
