Ah, yes, the binary release was disabled with the ivy work, due to external 
dependencies. In any case the additional work would only delay release.

And here I was testing everything to make sure the classdep build bug hadn't 
dropped any classes from jar files.

So this release will only contain source and documentation artifacts.

Still it's a step in the right direction.

Come on pmc members, River needs you.

River is more relevant today than it was in 2007.  IPv6 is making it more 
relevant, by lifting capability restrictions and simplifying network 
configuration.

It is possible to address all of the following in a backward compatible way in 
future releases:
1. IPv6 Multicast Discovery (external reference implementation)
2. Unicast https discovery (ext ref impl)
3. Tool to generate security policy files (ext ref impl) to simplify user 
config.
4. ServiceRegistrar default methods to authenticate services prior to download. 
Offloads smart proxy and Entry downloads from Reggie to services, also delays 
unmarshalling improving client performance (ext ref impl).
5. Input validation of untrusted serial data for java deserialization. (ext ref 
impl).
6 Upgrade to TLSv1.2, support for elliptic curve crypto and perfect forward 
secrecy. (ext ref impl).
7. Deprecation of complex inadequate proxy trust.

The above not only allows new capabilities such as p2p over the IPv6 net, but 
hardens and simplifies security.

The release artifacts contain source code, the binaries are there for user 
convenience.   I could use the new X500 Certificate to sign the jars, this was 
purchased by the Apache Foundation for this purpose.

How many PMC members are ready and willing to build and test, so that  
they can upvote the release? 

Peter: Why jar files in the release? Isn't it supposed to be source code?
