[VOTE] Release VelocityTools 1.3 Final

2007-02-05 Thread Nathan Bubna

No problems new problems have been reported since the release of
1.3-rc1, and i've made another, more thorough pass through the docs
and build scripts, so i think we are ready to release 1.3 final.

Changes since VelocityTools 1.3-rc1 are as follow:

- Improved publish target in build.xml
- Added Christopher Schultz to CONTRIBUTORS
- Minor misc doc updates
- Removed all outdated jakarta URLs i could find
- Changed ant scripts to be explicit about compilation source/targets

There have been no changes to the source code, test code, or examples
since 1.3-rc1.  All tests pass successfully, and there are no further
features or fixes expected for VelocityTools 1.3.  The test build for
this release is available at:

http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/velocity/tools/1.3/
(i would have put it at people.apache.org/builds/velocity/tools/13,
but i don't appear to have the necessary karma, and i don't think it
really matters for a test build.)

Please download it, try it out, and vote regarding your support for
doing this release:

[ ] +1 Let's do it
[ ] +0 Have fun; i don't care.
[ ] -0  Not sure about this, but i won't stop you.
[ ] -1 No, because __

I plan to tally the results and close the vote sometime after Thursday
11am PST (roughly 72 hours).

My vote is +1

 I would prefer if you committed it to the trunk (which is now 1.4-dev)
 and not create a 1.3 branch just for this.  To get this into 1.3, we'd
 have to turn the 1.3 tag into a branch and check the fix in there.
 Then i'd have to re-roll the release, re-test it myself, re-upload it,
 and call for a new vote.

That's why I asked :-)

 That's a lot of work for something i think can wait for the next
 version.

Sure. I'll commit it to the trunk.

  Claude

   We can't account for everything a user does, and this is not
 a situation new to the 1.3 release.  There is also a very simple
 workaround.  The user can always use $request.session or
 $request.getSession(false) to ensure a fresh session.

 If you're willing to let this wait for the next version, then go ahead
 and commit the change to the trunk.
 
 
 (And once again, i'm further convinced we need to move to a more
 httpd-like release process to avoid wasted release effort. :)

  I may have a little commit: IMO the ChainedContext object should not
  keep a reference to the session, because the session can be created
  during the merging process of the template (for instance, a request tool
  may create the session to store in it some cached value). In this case,
  $session will remain null while the session does exist.
 
  My proposal is just to always fetch the session using the request.
 
  Shall I commit it now or wait?
 
Claude
 
  I'll try to do it today.
