The second release candidate for JMeter 5.2 (c2b093428) has been
prepared, and your votes are solicited.
This release brings some new features and improvements, and also fixes bugs.
* This release brings two major changes for the distributed
version-control system and the building tool:
- migration from Subversion (svn) to Git repository (compliant with
GitHub and ASF GitBox)
- migration from ANT to Gradle build system
This for 2 main objectives:
* Improve the ease for contributors to make improvements and corrections
of bugs
* Allow to have new and more frequent versions of JMeter by automating
release steps.
Special Thanks for Vladimir Sitnikov ([email protected]) for these
works and supports.
Please, test this release candidate (with load tests and/or functional
tests) using Java 8+ on Linux/Windows/macOS, especially on the changes.
Feedback is very welcome within the next 72 hours.
@PMC and Commiters ==> This is the first release with the new
process/tool with Gradle and Git repository, so please double check this
release to find all issue in theses changes in the building and
releasing mechanisms for JMeter. <==
