I'm in a real time bind right now and have not read all of the emails related to Commons Net, although I've got them saved up for later examination (I noticed Rory Winston submitted more NNTP enhancements; we should discuss voting him as a committer after we get past the immediate business). If a vote is needed for a release manager, I assumed my vote was implicit based on my earlier comments. Here's an explicit +1 for Steve to manage the release. I haven't had time to look at the most recent changes. I was +1 on a 1.2 release to acommodate Ant's release schedule based on the changes up to Steve's take on resolving the VMS parser situation, even though I believed we'd have to deprecate some of the stuff later. I'd rather err on the side of being user-driven and meeting user needs than insist on perfection. However, additional changes were made that I haven't had time to examine (Steve's refactoring) and I believe will require more time to discuss. So if I have to vote right now I'm: +1 on a 1.2 release if we don't include those latest changes +0 if we do I'm also +1 on the JDK 1.1 compatible 1.1.1 maintenance release. I think we've got three +1's on this one (scohen, jbrekke, dfs), so all that's needed is to start a vote thread with a release plan specifying the release criteria (i.e., remove JDK 1.1 incompatibilities in the 1.1 release) cc'ed to the PMC and giving anyone an opportunity to -1 it. I tried to anticipate and qualify what I could since I'm lagging behind on email and may not be able to respond in a timely manner over the next week. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
