[OT] 5.0.18

2004-01-21 Thread Apu Shah

sorry for this off-topic question, it's meant for any tomcat developers
reading this list

currently, there is a tagged version of 5.0.18alpha. this has the fix
for RequestGroup/RequestGroupInfo memory leaks and some additional
clustering functionality (thanks filip!) this is primarily the reason i
upgraded.

i want to push this out to production but my co-workers feel that it's
alpha software and by definition buggy, unstable and not optimized.

i've shown them the benchmarks run against 5.0.18alpha and they all seem
fine but they are not convinced due to the alpha tag on the release.

my question is, when will 5.0.18 be tagged and released as final? is
there a fixed date for release or is it just based on popular consensus?

Howdy,

alpha software and by definition buggy, unstable and not optimized.

There are all common questions and it will do you good to search the
archives before you post.

In this particular case, 5.0.18 should be upgraded to stable within
the next couple of days as our vote is basically done.  Tomcat is like
other Apache projects in that there are fixed release dates, it's ready
when the developers concur that it's ready by voting.

Its called alpha since it was tagged and not voted on. But if you look in the 
tomcat-dev archives, there was a recent vote as to the qaulity of 5.0.18 and 
the vote so far seems to be stable. So enough committers have voted to say 
5.0.18 is stable to say its stable. But no lines of code changed, some 
people just voted and said - Sure - I think its stable Unless something has 
been caught recently, Remy will probably send an announcement in the next few 
days.

Actually, I was planning to announce it later today.
Announcing releases near the end of the week is bad ;)
