Is Trustin the only one that saw a problem with this? Where is the PMC? This is a big red flag. Mike, I'm not trying to bust your keyboard but you really need to read this: http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html You probably just confused a nightly build or SNAPSHOT build with an ASF (PMC) sanctioned release but please do *not* announce these things here without going through the PMC.
there is a certain tradition of solo efforts being developed offshore and posted to people.apache.org then announced to apache lists. people have to be careful with the naming and IMHO mike sailed just the right side of the wind. but now we have the http://labs.apache.org/ and that's the right place for efforts such as this. in the labs releases are not ok but tagged milestones are. mike - any objections to moving Asynchronous File I/O library to the labs? (you'll probably need to submit a software grant for the code you've already created) - robert
