signatures - OK compare git tag with source-release: OK updated the clone I already had, then switched to the release/3.0.0 branch
build from sources: Javadoc warnings in several projects due to missing parameters (not a blocker) API compare: the old version is 2.1.0 - should it be 2.4.0? (not a blocker) checked api conformance - discussed in another note. (not a blocker here) saw that tests were running with NOP logger - not a blocker - because I don't think logging is being used. (not a blocker) It appears that two issues fixed in 3.0.0 didn't make it to the fixed list: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5348 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5810 (not a blocker ? but may be indicative of some problem in the release process?) It appears that the dependency declared in uimafit-core for "commons-logging" isn't needed? (not a blocker) NOTICE files have 2016 or 2017 (depending on binary or source-release) as the end copyright date, probably should say 2019, or be left off. (not a blocker) in the source-release, the file api-change-report.html (which aggregates the 3 generated ones) is missing (not a blocker) There's a new project, "benchmark", which isn't described in the docs? (not a blocker) License check OK All in all, I'm a bit on the fence for voting +1, due to the several issues reported above; I'm kind of feeling that there are enough of the not-a-blocker minor issues to warrant fixing them. If you feel you want to proceed with this anyways, please say so, and I'll probably vote +1. -Marshall
