I'd like to gear up for a 1.5.4 release over the next few weeks, but I think we have a lot of work to do.

The last release of WSS4J was 1.5.3, on Sept 7, 2007.

So far, the fixes that have gone in since Sept 7 are:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-37*
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-38* (dup of 37)
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-51*
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-56
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-68
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-70*
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-74
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-89
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-92
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-95
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-103
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-105
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-100
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-101
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-106*

* Indicates the ticket is still open in Jira, but can be closed -- I can't close it, because I do not have administrative privileges.

Of the bugs that remain, I've filtered the existing unclosed high priority tickets, and have come up with 31.

The following bugs have patches submitted, and I'll review them for inclusion in the next release:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-49
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-52
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-63
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-66
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-88
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-93
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-94
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-97
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-98


The following bugs do not have submitted patches, but have test cases for diagnosis -- they may get resolved for this release, if we have time:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-60
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-96


The following bugs have no test cases, and will have to be analyzed for criticality:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-36
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-39
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-40
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-42 (should be closable?)
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-54
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-62
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-64
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-78
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-81
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-82
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-85
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-87
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-90
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-102

Would folks be open to a release, if we could address some of these issues?

After 1.5.4 goes out, we can discuss further changes to WSS4J. I'd like to propose that we branch the 1.5 source onto a fixes branch, and that we use the mainline for 2.0 development. For 2.0, I'd like to consider:

* Porting to JDK 1.5
* Using maven for building and deploying
* Supporting WS-Security using JAX-B generated types, in much the same way as XWSS3

What do people think?

Thanks,
Fred
