Hi Jason,
This is why we really encourage people to participate in the RCs. We had
about 20 in total and we would have been able to do something for you if
you participated earlier.
If the RC's have been announced on the Users list it might work...but
from October last year (2008) till now (my own archive) no announcements
have been made on the users list about Maven 2.1.0 RC's ? I checked the
online archive as well...couldn't find an entry...in the same time range..
On the users list there is an entry on November 2008 about 2.0.10 RC and
in December on 2.0.10 RC...but not for 2.1...
May be i oversight something....
I found an entry on 19. september 2008 about 2.1.0-M1 ?
http://www.nabble.com/-ANN--Maven-2.1.0-M1-Released-td19565710.html#a19565710
On the developers list if have many more entries on 2.1.0...
We still can, but we could have fixed it before it went into a release.
I think the quality of Maven has gone up exponentially since Brian
introduced the mandatory RC cycles but it's only as a good as the amount
of participation we get.
I know...i'm participating many open source projects ...like Tika,
Subversion and so on....
But the problem i had was not really a problem of Maven 2.1 is was more
a problem of mine....cause now it checks better the POM to it's
associated DTD...and complains of wrong entries or order...
But it might be good idea to create a User handleable change log instead
of just JIRA entries...e.g. describe the consequences of changes....
BTW: I'm willing to help in any way i can...testing...writing
docs/update docs.. etc. just drop an email to me....
Kind regards
Karl Heinz Marbaise
