My apologies, I just assumed the RCs were announced on the user list. I see now they weren't so that's our fault. We'll announce the RCs on the user list when we get near the cycle next time.

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
