Notes on the MyFaces Core 2.2.8 Release
Release manager: Leonardo Uribe
Timeline
- Proposed release date: 2015-04-05
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 2.2.8 snapshots:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
<artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
Note: Maven 2.2.8 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.)

7. VOTE
Hi, I was running the needed tasks to get the 2.2.8 release of Apache MyFaces core out. The artifacts passed the TCK test of Feb 2013 (jsftck-2.2_26-Feb-2013.zip). Please note that this vote concerns all of the following parts: 1. Maven artifact group "org.apache.myfaces.shared" v4.2.6 [1] 2. Maven artifact group "org.apache.myfaces.core" v2.2.8 [1] The artifacts were deployed on nexus repo [1] and to my private Apache account [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 "2.2.8" 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] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachemyfaces-1051/org/apache/myfaces/ [2] http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#ReleaseVotes [3] http://people.apache.org/~lu4242/myfaces228binsrc [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10600&version=12329267
