First, I'd like to thank Rafi for getting M4 out. Best Qpid Ever. Secondly, I'd like to start a bit of discussion about our development process before we get too deep into M5. These things never go smoothly, and there's a partial list of things at http://qpid.apache.org/m4-release-process-notes.html
I think we need to revist our branch management, we discussed it in the summer for M3 and decided to release from trunk. Both M3 and M4 ended up with release branches while we polished the bumps out though, otherwise trunk would have been closed for even longer. I'm personally more concerned about points 8 and 9 though. The Java patch review process is clearly a bit hit and miss. - Aidan -- Apache Qpid - World Domination through Advanced Message Queueing http://qpid.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:dev-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
