Hello Rory, Thanks very much for offering help with a Commons Net 1.4.x release! We've been in contact with the original submitter of these fixes, and he's been using these successfully forr over a year now.
We've also applied the fixes to a local test version, and cannot see the deadlock any more so we are confident that it fixes the issue indeed. Thanks, Martin -----Original Message----- From: Rory Winston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 11:13 PM To: Jakarta Commons Developers List Subject: Re: Commons Net 1.4.x Service Release? Hi Martin (and anyone else who may have commented on this topic) I have been working on and off (not so much recently due to lack of time) on a release for commons-net. I was planning to make a 2.0 release and not specifically release from the 1.4 branch, however, it looks like this may now be necessary. I dont have a lot of time at the moment (in fact I had planned an initial 2.0 release for a few months ago initially). It may be possible to do a 1.4.x release before 2.0 - this is probably what you will want, as 2.0 will work on a 1.5+ JVM only. Before we look at this however, are you sure that these bug fixes you list below fix the errors you are seeing? Have you verified with a suitable source build or nightly?
