Okay then.  Here is my plan:

* Retract the call for votes for the 1.5.4 release to both the wss4j and general lists (with due apologies) * On the 1_5_4 branch, Apply the patch for WSS-119, and obtain or write a test case for it, as none has been submitted yet
*  Update changelog
*  Manually test against CXF
*  re-tag the release (or merge to the 1_5_4 tag)
*  Spin the bits (including site)
*  Call for votes

I should hopefully be able to get to this today. If anyone has a test case for WSS-119, this will make getting this done today more likely (Note that Monday is a national holiday here in the states)

Note that after the vote passes, I will do the normal update procedures to the web site, the distribution download area, and to maven. Before I do that, though, I will merge the changes that went on the fixes branch to the mainline, as the branch and mainline have gone out of sync. At that point, the mainline will be "open" for merges.

If there are any objections, please let me know.

Thanks,
-Fred

Fred,

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-51

and

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-54

can be closed imo, as the patches have long since been applied.

+1 to getting a fix for WSS-119 into the release for 1.5.4, but I think
that any other issue that appears should be deferred to 1.5.5 or 2.0.

Okay, I've fixed the hard-coded references to WSS4J versions in any of
the docs, and I've added a ChangeLog.txt, which I generated from
Jira.  I've also added a Jira report to the maven plugin, so we can
see which tickets were closed for 1.5.4.

A test version of the site can be found at:

http://people.apache.org/~fadushin/stage/wss4j/1.5.4/site/

Note that at present, the release bits have NOT been updated on
people.apache.org, and the tags/1_5_4 branch has not been updated,
either.

Before re-spinning a release, I'd like to take a vote on whether we
can release without a fix for

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSS-119

I'd say that if WSS-119 is not a regression, then we should release
without the fix.  OTOH, if there is a strong feeling towards making
the fix, then I'd be open to that, too -- it does apparently affect
WCF interop, which is pretty important, IMO.  It will require that we
withdraw the release, and start the test cycle over again.  So far, it
looks like Axis, CXF, and Tuscany are the parties with a stake in
that.  (The CXF testing I can do very easily)

I can't say how far away we'd be on a 1.5.5, or even a 2.0 release.

Also, could I ask whether any WSS4J contributors would like to be
listed in the contributors section of the web site?  Speak up, and
I'll add your name, but I don't want to add names without permission
-- well, except for Colm :)
