We wanted to release 2.1.8 as soon as possible after the GT.
Now the question is, are there any open issues?
I'm currently aware of two problems:
1) Documentation - 2.1.8 does not contain the docs anymore, so we should
find a way to add them in the distribution. I think a directory
containing just the html docs (or pdf?) should be fine.
In addition I think we should remove the targets for adding the docs
and the api docs to the webapp.
2) Logging of exceptions - currently correct stacktraces are tied to our
own logkit formatter (if I'm not mistaken), so as soon as you're not
using logkit or not using this formatter, you don't get the correct
stacktraces.
This problem only happens in places where we wrap an exception in a
SAXException and log that SAXException. This is because SAXException
doesn't provide the getCause() method that's used by JDK 1.4's exception
chaining.
However, if the exception is wrapped in e.g. a ProcessingException, the
problem doesn't exist.
A solution to this problem is to define our own "class XMLException
extends SAXException" that will provide this getCause() and change all
"throw new SAXException()" in our code with "throw new XMLException".
