Ultimately it is a community decision. The more folks that use the betas and provide feedback - particularly on the release votes - the better. Personally, I'm undecided. I'll probably wait until I have the ASF JIRA instances running on Tomcat 7 before I am happy to vote stable. That said, I know some folks that were using 7.0.0 in production. One of my aims as the current Tomcat 7 release manager is to a) keep on top of the bugs and b) release frequently enough that folks can use Tomcat 7 and if they hit an issue get a fix in a couple of weeks. In terms of keeping on top of bugs, the better the bug reports the easier this is. On that topic: a few tips based on what is currently driving me nuts: - Test against the current source code. Building Tomcat 7 is *really* easy and if you test against the current source code folks don't waste time tracking down bugs that have already been fixed - Provide a *simple as possible* test case - Provide the source for your test case - Test cases in the form of a new unit test are ideal - The test case should actually demonstrate the error reliably Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
