Please update APR from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2. Please update OpenSSL from 1.0.1m to
1.0.2d.

You'd get more volunteers if building APR didn't require MSVC 6.0 or however
you build .dsw. In fact, it'd be nice to see many of these projects adopt
Gradle and do away with many of these old build tools. I tried to build Tomcat
Native once from repository and found my version of Python was too new. Gradle
allows the flexibility of MSVC, GCC, clang.

I've done the last few tc-native releases because they reached the point
where they really needed to happen. tc-native isn't my area of expertise
so I'd be more than happy to see someone else take this on.
More frequent releases are certainly possible and very much the way we
should be aiming to do things as an Apache project. "Release early and
release often" is the goal.
What contribution are you (or anyone else reading this) willing/able to
make to help this process along?
The tc-native release process is documented (ish) here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/native/branches/1.1.x/jnirelease.sh?view=annotate
and
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Building+the+Tomcat+Native+Connector+binaries+for+Windows
Off the top of my head things that need to be done / checked:
- ensure the changelog is up to date
- versions all correct in source
- select and document APR & OpenSSL versions
- check everything builds correctly
Confirmation that any of the above is ready to go or patches to fix
things if there are gaps will move a release forward.
I can find the time to apply patches and turn the handle on the release
if others can do the work to ensure that svn is in a good state to release.
It is a fairly safe bet that anyone helping out substantially on the
release is going to find themselves with an invitation to become a
Tomcat committer and the RM for the next release.
