Hi, +1 (binding)
Checks & steps: 0.) Both source (tar.gz/zip) and binary artifacts (tar.gz/zip) are present, along with .asc and .sha512 files for each => PASSED 1.) Verified hashes and PGP signatures: => PASSED 2.) Build successfully from apache-opennlp-3.0.0-M6-src.tar.gz on: Apache Maven 3.9.16 (2bdd9fddda4b155ebf8000e807eb73fd829a51d5) Maven home: /Applications/apache-maven-3 Java version: 21.0.12, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.0.12.jdk/Contents/Home Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version: "26.6.2", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac" and artifacts were produced as expected. Source release matches tag opennlp-3.0.0-M6 (6a513dff…) => PASSED 3.) Checked content of RC1’s binary distribution, that is apache-opennlp-3.0.0-M6-bin.tar.gz => PASSED 4.) Checked the shipped docs folder is in good shape and contains the expected artifacts (dev manual HTML + PDF, and Javadoc per module) => PASSED 5.) Did some individual tests w/ the release candidate, primarily in library use case, that is "opennlp-runtime" instead of "opennlp-tools". => PASSED Thanks to all contributors and for getting this out. mawiesne | Martin > Am 10.09.2026 um 19:22 schrieb Richard Zowalla <[email protected]>: > > +1 (binding) > > Checked: > - Signatures (key B83D15E7…E5B8A431 from KEYS) and SHA-512 for all > src/bin tar.gz/zip: OK > - Source release matches tag opennlp-3.0.0-M6 (6a513dff…) > - LICENSE/NOTICE present; no unexpected binaries in src > - Build from src: mvn clean install apache-rat:check -> BUILD SUCCESS > (JDK 25.0.2, Maven 3.9.16, macOS), all tests pass > - Eval tests #38: SUCCESS > > Non-blocking (same state as in M5), filed for follow-up: > - OPENNLP-1939: bin LICENSE lacks full libsvm (BSD-3) and SLF4J (MIT) > texts; stale CDDL/jersey section > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-1939 > - OPENNLP-1940: a few files without ASF headers (module poms, dl READMEs, > BENCHMARKS.md, README_FOOTER.html, Dockerfile); RAT configured to never fail > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-1940 > - OPENNLP-1941: src release omits leipzig/samples/.hidden test resource > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-1941 > >> Am 08.09.2026 um 12:09 schrieb Richard Zowalla <[email protected]>: >> >> Subject: [VOTE] Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0-M6 RC1 >> >> Hi folks, >> >> I have posted a first release candidate for the Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0-M6 >> release and it is ready for testing. >> >> This milestone adds a pure-Java SentencePiece inference API that preserves >> exact original-text spans (OPENNLP-1885), a document annotation container >> with typed, offset-anchored layers (OPENNLP-1888) together with a >> document-scoped term vector layer (OPENNLP-1897), dictionary-based >> tokenization for Japanese, Korean and Chinese (OPENNLP-1894), and support >> for Hunspell affix dictionaries for stemming (OPENNLP-1893). >> >> A large part of this candidate is about correctness and robustness. >> Default-locale case folding no longer corrupts lemmatizer models and output >> or breaks Morfologik dictionary lookup (OPENNLP-1904, OPENNLP-1905), the >> EMAIL and URL patterns in RegexNameFinderFactory can no longer exhaust the >> stack (OPENNLP-1922), SymSpell model deserialization is hardened against >> oversized count fields (OPENNLP-1899), cached models are verified against >> their SHA-512 checksum (OPENNLP-1902), and there is now a general verified >> installer for user-supplied third-party resources (OPENNLP-1909).
