I said I'd do it, but not for which version ;) No. There are some pain

Nope you said you'd do it for 2.10... do you want me to pull out the
transcript ;-)
I seem to remember being intentionally vague about the fix-version ;) 
But maybe I just lied to make you do to the site stuff :-p


Anyway, all the features I planned for 2.11 are now present and a fresh 
2.11-SNAPSHOT is deployed.
That means I'm just a bug scrub session or two away from starting the 
release.


Anyone wishing to give 2.11-SNAPSHOT a spin should have /at least/ until 
over the weekend to test it.

balanced might be enough to replace KK's maven-junit-plugin but I
suspect not as the forks are needed for some distributed testing
madness that KK likes to do for really fast massively parallel test
execution

I said I'd do it, but not for which version ;) No. There are some pain 
points in the forking
code that I need to sort out before we can do that feature.  I did some 
sorting out for 2.9, but
there's more left. But I /am/ sorting them out ;) I'm a big mikado 
method fan, and I have a

few more mikado sticks to move before I can go for the gold ;)

The new feature is runorder="failedfirst" and runorder="balanced", where 
balanced
distributes tests on threads (and later for you, forks ;) to minimize 
overall runtime. This is
especially useful with long-running tests, to avoid a single test 
running for 2 minutes after
all the other tests are completed. (This always seems to happen on our 
selenium tests ;)


(a bin-packing problem, NP complete if memory serves me right. )

BTW: On the topic of 2.11, there's 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-782 for you, Stephen ;)

I have one other major piece of new (exciting!) functionality I'm 
adding, then just a quick

bug scrub and off we go. It will be released "soon".
