Hi Werner, Thanks for the quick responses,
Could we go ahead with a snapshot release then, Will you send the link to this mailing list once it is built? Thanks again, Alex. -----Original Message----- From: Werner Guttmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 April 2008 15:22 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [castor-user] castor 1.2.1 release date?

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?
