+1 on the content of 1.5.4 and the overall plan! > No long winded plan as this one should be rather trivial IMHO. > > The plan: > > * We don't commit anything to the 1.5 branch anymore (we don't so so > anyway). > > * On Monday August 11th during the morning (GMT) the release manager > syncs the website changes from the HEAD branch to the 1.5 branch and > creates a 1.5.4 release from it. Following the Release > guidelines in > our CVS module. > > * The release will be put into our distribution directory and the > release manager will call for a PMC vote on it. > > * If the vote passes, the release will be announced to the public, > otherwise the files will be removed from the distribution area > again. > > The only changes over 1.5.3 will be the changes to <javah> > and the VAJ tasks. Therefore I plan to explicitly state in > the release notes as well as the announcements that there is > no reason to upgrade from 1.5.3 unless you use <javah> on JDK > 1.4.2 or VAJ. > > The announcement will also once again state that this is the last > (planned) Ant release that will run on a 1.1 Java VM. > > All changes are based on patches from people who had problems > with the two areas originally - and have been verified to > work by multiple people. Therefore I don't think we'll need > a release candidate or even beta build. > > Stefan >
