This is included in the (imminent) email announcing RC2 however I thought I would call it out separately also: I have removed the binary convenience package for the QMan QMF->WSDM/JMX utility from the 0.8 release process. It is still included in the qpid-java-0.8.tar.gz binary convenience package due to what that munges together, but that is a different issue for a different day.
You can consult QPID-2945 for the specifics, but to summarise: In testing the 0.8RC1 package for QMan, I have found it unable to connect to either the 0.6 C++ broker or the 0.8RC1 broker. Using the 0.6 QMan release package works fine against the 0.6 C++ broker but apparently not fully against the 0.8 RC1 C++ broker, suggesting that even if the first issue was addressed there are other problems to overcome, as QMan hasn't had any directly intended change since before 0.6 (a year+). So, QMan doesn't appear to be working currently and there doesn't seem to be anyone actively maintaining it or even testing it works (I looked to be the only one who did that during the 0.6 release process also). This combined with the fact everyone has expressed interest in expediting our release process and more aggressively holding to our schedules has lead me to the conclusion it should simply be excluded from the 0.8 release in standalone form.
