Hello All: This is a VOTE to release Commons Exec 1.2-RC2
The changes from RC1 are: - Update the NOTICE.txt file fro 2014 - Update the source assembly to mark .sh files as executable. Feature and fix release. Requires a minimum of Java 1.3. The Apache Commons Exec team is pleased to announce the Apache commons-exec-1.2 release! Apache Commons Exec is a library to reliably execute external processes from within the JVM. Changes in this version include: New features: o Set names for started threads. Issue: EXEC-55. Thanks to Dominik Stadler. Fixed Bugs: o Issue: EXEC-68. Watchdog kills process immediately if timeout is too large. Thanks to Joel McCance. o Issue: EXEC-57. Applied the patch from Nickolay Martinov but the timeout disguises the fact that the process might be still running. Therefore added a sanity check in order to throw an exception if the the timeout for join() was exceeded. Thanks to Nickolay Martinov. o Issue: EXEC-60. Fixed dead lock by calling the timeout observers outside of the synchronized block thereby removing on pre-requisite of a deadlock. Also added a test case to demonstrate that this problem is fixed (which of course can not guarantee the absence of a dead lock). Thanks to Peter Kofler. o Issue: EXEC-52. Tests fail on HP-UX, because it uses a different syntax for the ping command. Thanks to Nickolay Martinov. o Issue: EXEC-49. "Write dead end" IOException when using Piped streams w/PumpStreamHandler. When encountering a PipedOutputStream we will automatically close it to avoid the exception. Thanks to Kevin Telford. o Issue: EXEC-34. Race condition prevent watchdog working using ExecuteStreamHandler. Patch submittd by Kristian Rosenvold. Thanks to Marco Ferrante.
