Important bugfixes included are:
- MMBase works inside webapp contexts
- Taglib works with Tomcat 4.1.12
- Performance issue resolved regarding
MMObjectNode::getRelated() and
MMObjectNode::getRelated(type) where type is a builder
++ Security can be set in no-read-check mode
++ Connection pool now runs on 2 connections (has it been tested on 1?)
Bugs:
-----
All bugs from the bugtracker with medium or high priority must
be
fixed before this release. Bugs with a low priority can be
delayed
untill a future 1.6.x release.
++ status may only change after discussion on the list?
++ bugs will be posted and may only be changed by release team members
- Editwizards
Documentations hasn't been finished, is this a showstopper?
++ Type of database layer used?
(personally I think -->informormix, postgresql71 and postgresql72 and
for the others relational should be used(lookup.xml))
++ Do we want to make JNDI resources active? (email, database)
I think we need a vision here. It could be backwards compatible, or
plug-and-play ... (personally im +1 for more configurations)
JDK:
- Sun JDK1.3/1.4
- IBM JDK1.3
- Blackdown JDK1.3
++ 1.2? (I works quite well at this moment on mmbase.org, but doesn't
compile... I think this gives 1.2 still some time to breath,... But they
can't use the new features)
Servlet Engines:
- Apache Tomcat 4.0.x/4.1.x
4.0 cannot be used with jsp-editors,.. And is very slow... Do we want
to support it?
Databases:
- MySQL
- Informix
- Hsqldb
- PostgreSQL
++ Hypersonic (encoding bug!!!) (default of orion)
Postgresql needs an update(addition of a check to database), when
installing 1.6 (foreign key check)
Converting 7.1 to 7.2 doesn't work (you cant use the jdbc7.2 driver,...
This is postgresl related imho (iod vs bloba))
Releases
========
There will be at least 2 release candidate before the final
release.
Not sure bout this...
During this code freeze most outstanding bugs must be fixed and
stability must be tested.
++ When not, freeze will be extended..
I don't participate in the release team, I have at this moment enough
otherthings to take care of,... Would I have some time,.. I will help.
I think we could have a war, with jndi-stuff and easy installing, also
an not so automatic version, build in the old way.
