Notes on the MyFaces Core 1.1.6 Release
Release manager: Leonardo Uribe
Timeline
- 2008-08-01 - Prepare release candidate because myfaces-builder-plugins needs testing procedures
- Proposed release date: 2008-08-14
Issues
Testing
Here's how you can help us test the distribution.
Download a nightly build of the distribution assemblies:
Configure a <repository> for Maven 2:
<repository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url>
</repository>
And declare a dependency on the 1.1.6 snapshots:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
<version>1.1.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
Note: Maven 2.0.4 will not download a new version if one is already present in your local repository. You will need to delete $M2_REPO/org/apache/myfaces/core to force Maven to download the new version. (Usually, $M2_REPO is <your home directory>/.m2/repository .)
Test your application, then, let us know the results (good or bad!) on dev at myfaces.apache.org. (You must be subscribed to post. See: http://myfaces.apache.org/mail-lists.html.)

3. Deploy all on snapshots repo (since the version ends with -SNAPSHOT, automatically when deploy the artifacts are put on http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository)
mvn clean deploy -Psign-artifacts -Dpassphrase=???
4. Announce release candidate mail (subject: MyFaces Core 1.1.6-rc1 release candidate available for testing)
Hi All,
A release candidate for MyFaces Core 1.1.6 (with version number
"1.1.6-rc1-SNAPSHOT") has been made available for testing. The 1.1.x
line of releases implements the (old) JSF1.1 specification. The
artifacts can be found here:
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-api/1.1.6-rc1-SNAPSHOT/ http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-impl/1.1.6-rc1-SNAPSHOT/
The last release of Myfaces Core for JSF1.1 (version 1.1.5) was in Feb
2007. Since then a lot of changes have been made. Therefore for the
upcoming 1.1.6 release we have decided to build a "release candidate"
with version number 1.1.6-rc1 for wider testing.
We would very much appreciate people testing this *release candidate*
and reporting any *regressions* since the 1.1.5 release. Please do NOT
point out any bugs that also exist in the 1.1.5 release; it has been far
too long since the last release of Core 1.1.x and we need to get things
"rolling" again, so only regressions will be dealt with at this time.
Regressions should be discussed on the dev or user list, so they get
immediate attention. Please put the text "[core 1.1.6]" at the start of
the subject line of the email.
If you are using myfaces 1.1.x in production, then you really should
test this new artifact. Those who report problems *after* the release is
out may not get a lot of sympathy!
As the rc1 artifacts are in the standard apache snapshot repository,
maven users can test them by defining the apache snapshot repo
("http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository") in an active
profile in their settings.xml file then just referencing the artifact
from the pom.xml of their projects. For non-maven users, the jars can be
downloaded manually from the above locations.
If there are no significant regressions reported in the next couple of
weeks against 1.1.6-rc1-SNAPSHOT, then the final artifacts for a 1.1.6
release will be built and a release vote called (on the dev list). You
can "vote" on this thread if you like, but these "-rc1" artifacts are
not intended for release; the "real" vote will be later.
Regards,
Simon
(on behalf of Lenardo Uribe)

12. VOTE
Hi, I was running the needed tasks to get the 1.1.6 release of Apache MyFaces core out. The artifacts passed all TCK test. Please note that this vote concerns all of the following parts: 1. Maven artifact group "org.apache.myfaces.shared" v2.0.8 [1] 2. Maven artifact group "org.apache.myfaces.core" v1.1.6 [1] The artifacts are deployed to my private Apache account ([1] and [3] for binary and source packages). The release notes could be found at [4]. Also the clirr test does not show binary incompatibilities with myfaces-api. Please take a look at the "1.1.6" artifacts and vote! Please note: This vote is "majority approval" with a minimum of three +1 votes (see [3]). ------------------------------------------------ [ ] +1 for community members who have reviewed the bits [ ] +0 [ ] -1 for fatal flaws that should cause these bits not to be released, and why.............. ------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Leonardo Uribe [1] http://people.apache.org/~lu4242/myfaces116 [2] http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes [3] http://people.apache.org/~lu4242/myfaces116binsrc [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12312312&styleName=Html&projectId=10600
