About this page
Compress is preparing for a first release 1.0. The following page trys to describe necessary changes before the first release can happen. If there are changes for a later release, they will be added here too.
Commons Compress 1.0
- Gump: Compress is included in the Sandbox. Should go to proper components. See also: http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/commons-sandbox/index.html
- ChangeSet Support (SANDBOX-183): Decide if this goes into the release as experimental or not. If it does, SANDBOX-183 should be marked resolved.
- Improve maven site stuff, which is a bit outdated now. Dennis Lundberg and Siegfried Goeschl offered their help with maven stuff, maybe this happens on Hackathon.
- CPIO implementation needs more testcases. This is implementation is very new to compress and risky.
