This RC has the following changes over RC4:

*        Webdav 1.0-beta-2 instead of beta-1 (This fixes James' issue)

*        The webdav extension version that is bundled in core can be
overridden by an extension element, thus no longer locking in the users.
This plays a little with the classloading so we should rerun all
previous tests to make sure nothing new is broken. FWIW, I used the
latest RC5-Snapshot to build the official RC5 release and had no issues.

*        MNG-3221 has been rolled back and fixed in a different way that
specifically targets just the report plugins in the forked lifecycles.
This should correct the issues seen by Nicolas and Sejal

 

Those are all the known issues in RC4. We had some issues in the past
with site plugin compat so we should try to get some coverage in that
area as well.

Thank you everyone for the ongoing testing assistance and regression
fixing. I am confident that 2.0.9 is going to bring a new level of
quality to the project. We'll see if I still feel that way after we let
the users whack at it, but it will be worth it in the end. Once we
achieve this level it will be easier to maintain it going forward with
more frequent releases and closer attention to how we fix issues along
with good ITs to avoid regressions.
