Hi Martin
Sorry for the late reply. It's been a busy year for me, and I am having
trouble allocating sufficient time to [net] at the moment to close off
the remaining issues and schedule a release, hence the delay. There seem
to be a trickle of bug reports, but unfortunately not much manpower
available to fix them. I was hoping to have a release out long before
now, but unfortunately this has not been the case. If I can find another
interested party to assist with a release, then we can potentially get a
1.4.x and 2.0 release out shortly.
Cheers
Rory

Hello Rory,
it's been some time since we've had contact regarding
a commons net 1.4.x service release.
In fact I have applied the patches mentioned below
that we needed to our own branch of commons net, and
deployed them with Eclipse. So yes, these patches are
tested and known to be good.
Eclipse is now going the next round of release train,
and I'd be interested to get these fixes into an
officially released version. It looks like others
need such a patch version too:
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12559761#action_12559761 ]
Is there a chance to get a commons net 1.4.x release
any time soon?
Thanks,

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?
Cheers
Rory

Dear Commons Community,
For our Eclipse project DSDP-TM (for an URL, see
my signature below), we're picking up Commons Net
1.4.1 in order to provide remote FTP access. This
is being used in a number of places, including
transparent management of remote web servers.
We've recently come across a bug where the FTP
connection deadlocks, approximately once out
of 20 uploads:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=202758
We've been able to track this down to two known
bugs in Commons Net, which have been fixed about
a year ago:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-3
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-73
Without these fixes, our tool is pretty useless
for FTP, and we cannot see a workaround for the
issue. So we really really need the fixes! But
just picking up the patches is not easily possible
for us, due to IP cleanliness reasons we'd much
prefer a real service release of Commons Net.
Looking at the Release Notes embedded in the recent
nightlies (Commons Net 1.5-Snapshot), it looks like
an 1.4.x service release had been planned at some
point but never actually done.
Would it be possible to have a Commons Net 1.4.2
Service Release? Or what else are the release
plans for Commons Net?
Thanks a lot for any insight!
Cheers,
