Hi, I would like to propose a release plan for voting : - features included in 1.6 : all the features currently present in head - freeze date for 1.6 branch : Monday, September 22 13:00 GMT - availability of ANT_16_B1 binaries : within one week of the freeze of the branch. The exact time will depend on whether I will have trouble with practical issues from the build down to the signing of the jar files to the update of the web site, of bugzilla, ... - release manager : myself
(I hope this is OK, although I am not a PMC member). So, if this release plan is voted, on Monday, September 22 I will create the ANT_16_BRANCH tag. The CVS Head will then become ant 1.7alpha Cheers, Antoine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Bodewig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 2:08 PM Subject: Re: Getting 1.6 out the door > Peter is currently on vacation, I hope he'll be back soon enough to > chime in. > > On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, Conor MacNeill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > There will probably be a 1.6.1 release in between to clean up any > > issues we discover in 1.6 > > Maybe we should consequentyl call the first 1.6 release 1.6.0 then? > > > 2. antlib > > > > I think this should be in > > yes. > > > but I am not familiar with its state yet, > > I'm not happy with some code details but the overal functionality is > there.
