Hi Justin, this one had me thinking a while :-) So, there are two separate things. The first one is the Spring upgrade. It's an upgrade between two minor versions, had a single commit, basically just the version number change in the pom files, worked fine. The Spring integration is exercised by our tests and by the CITE tests, all of them seem to be working fine. An upgrade of the library that wires everything is still risky, but given the above I'm not too concerned... let's make that a +0?
I believe the Jetty upgrade is more contentious, more reward and more risk. The Jetty we are shipping with on 2.8.x is a bit of an horror, old, inefficient, with known security risks, so an upgrade is very much welcomed. Testing wise however we are coming out pretty light though. We had the CITE tests running on master for a few days, and I believe some people tested it interactively... but the stable series is meant for production, so I believe we need more than that. And then we have the installers: how many people have tried the windows and OSX installer with the new Jetty and can attest they are working? Possibly a number <= 1, assuming Justin has had the time to check both when making the Jetty upgrade :-p So... from this point of view I'd be -1 on the Jetty upgrade, but at the same time... it would be so good... so what can be done to mitigate those risks? Here is a few of ideas, hopefully others will add more/better ones: * Have a well known demo instance of GeoServer somewhere use the new bin package and see how it stands the load * We could run some of the benchmarking exercises on top of it * To have people use the installers, maybe cut a milestone release out of trunk? We have a few new features already in there to sweeten the pot and make it more interesting for people to kick its tires What do you think?
