Yes, if it were "current" (i.e. the trunk) it wouldn't be "stable". It was branched ~2 months ago.

This seems such a common tendency of the myfaces team, to be eager to get the new functionality out and released. The problem with this is that, despite lengthening your release cycle, you are still having trouble with release stability. In order to achieve this stability, you either need to be willing to branch for extensive testing before a release (even though it is meanwhile "getting out of date"). Or, you can take a look at ideas like Paul Spencer's idea for following a Tomcat style of release.

If you're going to be releasing code that is only a few days or a week fresh from the trunk, then you're going to need to start releasing maintenance updates to gradually add to their stability. I'm just a humble user, but this is my 2 cents...

MYFACES-1372    <h:messages> not shown (-> not working) is important,
but it's been broken for 18 months.   It's not a regression as far as
I know.

** Per an 8-Dec-2006 Posting from Mike Kienenberger:
MYFACES-1506 is an improvement.   It can be moved to 1.1.6.  Actually,
this is a Tomahawk issue, not a MyFaces one.  Should be moved.  Not
sure how Messages.properties interacts with Tomahawk, though.


None of the above issue are marked as blockers.  Are any of the actually
blockers to the 1.1.5 release?


What is holding up this release?

Paul Spencer
