Hi,

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the release-model as done by Jenkins, meaning releasing once or twice a week with only a few fixes. As a user I'm not going to update for every new release, it most have real value before I upgrade. As both developer and user it's much more easier to recognize issues as part of a specific version, if the number of releases stays small enough. I'd prefer to gather more fixes per release and go for a 6-8 week (or 4-6 week) release cycle.
IIRC that was also the original intention with M3.

so if you wait for tomorrow...


I don't really want to wait, why can't that just go in next week? You don't know how long it will take and I think we should just start releasing what we have.

notice there are 2 ITs failing on ASF's Jenkins because of a failure to find artifacts that are available AFAIK in the local repo: I suppose I'm missing
something trivial in the configuration
Can you help me on this, please?

The ITs need to work, I till take a look at report back.

Hervé

I'd like to release Maven 3.1.1 and try to get the cadence revived for minor version releases by trying to release minor versions as frequently as there
are fixes to make available.

Just a couple simple fixes:

[MNG-5499] maven-aether-provider leaks Sisu Plexus and ObjectWeb classes
onto the classpath when they are not required [MNG-5495] API
incompatibility causes Swagger Maven Plugin (and others) to fail under
Maven 3.1.0

But helps consumers of the Maven Aether Provider and plugin issues caused by incompatibilities with the converters. There are lots of other things to
fix, but as they become available they can be released. If possible I'd
just like to start releasing any fixes we have on a weekly basis.

Any objections?

Thanks,

Jason

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
