Okay, I've fixed the hard-coded references to WSS4J versions in any of the docs, and I've added a ChangeLog.txt, which I generated from Jira. I've also added a Jira report to the maven plugin, so we can see which tickets were closed for 1.5.4.

A test version of the site can be found at:

http://people.apache.org/~fadushin/stage/wss4j/1.5.4/site/

Note that at present, the release bits have NOT been updated on people.apache.org, and the tags/1_5_4 branch has not been updated, either.

Before re-spinning a release, I'd like to take a vote on whether we can release without a fix for

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-119

I'd say that if WSS-119 is not a regression, then we should release without the fix. OTOH, if there is a strong feeling towards making the fix, then I'd be open to that, too -- it does apparently affect WCF interop, which is pretty important, IMO. It will require that we withdraw the release, and start the test cycle over again. So far, it looks like Axis, CXF, and Tuscany are the parties with a stake in that. (The CXF testing I can do very easily)

I can't say how far away we'd be on a 1.5.5, or even a 2.0 release.

Also, could I ask whether any WSS4J contributors would like to be listed in the contributors section of the web site? Speak up, and I'll add your name, but I don't want to add names without permission -- well, except for Colm :)

Hi Fred,

I took a look and would be happy to +1 the release with the following
comments:

- In the README.txt file, this version number was not updated
"Thus no specific installation is required. The wss4j-1.5.1.jar file
could be included into ear or war files of enterprise or web application
servers."

I would recommend not listing an explicit version number in this section
to avoid future problems.

- I could find no change log as to what bug fixes or enhancements 1.5.4
made over the previous releases.

- The front page for WSS4J has some broken links and lists the current release as 1.5.0 when in fact only 1.5.1, 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 are available
from the download site.

We are currently in the process of a WSS4J 1.5.4 release, but we have
only gotten 1 +1 vote from an Apache WS PMC member.  (The only other
votes cast have been 2 non-binding +1 votes).

Could I ask Apache WS PMC members to look into this release?
