I made fixes for the problems identified in the previous release candidate
(JavaScript length instead of size and the template remove breakage). Now
would like to call a vote to release candidate #3 as Roller 6.0.0.
Release candidate files are here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller/roller-6.0/v6.0.0/
Please vote +1 to release or -1 with reason(s) not to release.
Thanks,
Dave
Below are the proposed release notes (thanks to Swapnil for the edits):
=================
The Apache Roller community is pleased to announce the release for
Apache Roller 6.0.0.
Apache Roller is a Java-based, full-featured, multi-user and
group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small.
"Apache Roller 6.0.0" is the latest and greatest release of Roller; for
more details of the changes introduced with this new version please refer to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310906&version=12344884
Apache Roller is available on the download page:
https://roller.apache.org/downloads/downloads.html
In summary, Roller 6 is a new version of Roller with these features:
* Web interface has been rewritten to use Twitter bootstrap
via the Struts 2 Bootstrap tags.
* Most dependencies have been upgraded to the latest version.
* Compiled with Java 11 and requires Java 11.
* The installation guide has been converted from OpenOffice to AsciiDocs.
It should be relatively easy to upgrade from Roller 5.2.4 to Roller 6
because there are no changes to the database schema (that means you can
easily roll back if you find problems). The user interface is different and
we hope you'll find it better, easier to use, more intuitive and with a
more modern feel.
Thanks to the many contributors to Roller for this new release.
We hope you'll enjoy and find it useful.
