Regarding unsupported: only javadocs were dropped for this group. I did this to keep the release going out in a timely fashion -- if something doesn't work on release day, we shouldn't waste time trying to fix it unless it is *really* important. I could have taken a little extra time to isolate the broken javadocs, but instead took the fast track (who needs unsupported javadocs anyhow). It's *great* that we have a release process that takes only a couple hours. The fact that something got cut is an alarm bell. I know that the geometry module in unsupported does not have functioning javadocs; other unsupported modules may be broken as well -- we should check each of the modules in unsupported to ensure that javadocs actually build. Another question to consider is if we ever want to build javadocs for unsupported? > (2) why release an alpha milestone to users?

Fair enough... i'm indifferent on this one. We could stick to the devel list -- it would mean one less e-mail during the whole process :) Cheers, Cory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
