Struts Release Plan (Version 1.1-b3)
Struts
Welcome
Objective
$Id: release-plan-1.1b3.xml 51063 2003-09-09 17:49:23Z sraeburn $
The objective of the Struts 1.1 Beta 3 release is to
create a milestone release against which a final series of bug fixes and
documentation updates can occur before a Struts 1.1 Final
release is created.
The Plan
A number of new features have been added to the nightly builds since the
second Beta release of Struts 1.1, and many bugs have been fixed. It is time,
therefore, to take the next step in the release process, and make the latest
code base available as a third Beta release. The goal is to move towards a
release candidate and then a final Struts 1.1 release as
soon as is practicable.
Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.1 Beta 3:
Code Freeze / Tag Date - Sunday, December 29, 2002, 23:59:59
Release Manager - Martin Cooper
Release Announcement - To the following mailing lists:
announcements@jakarta.apache.org
struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
struts-user@jakarta.apache.org
Release Criteria
Prior to the release of Struts 1.1 Beta 3, the following action items
must be completed:
The Struts 1.1 Release Notes document shall be updated to describe
substantial changes and improvements since the Struts 1.0.2 release,
along with associated updates to the main Struts Documentation
Application pages describing the new release.
All of the Struts example applications that are included with the release
shall operate successfully in the following servlet containers:
Tomcat 3.3.1
Tomcat 4.0.6
Tomcat 4.1.18
A release vote shall take place on the STRUTS-DEV mailing list to
approve this plan. The release vote MUST pass by "Majority Approval"
of Struts committers.
Prior to the release of a subsequent Struts 1.1 release candidate, the
following action items must be completed:
All Bugzilla bug reports
against Struts 1.1 nightly builds MUST be marked as "Resolved", with any
of the legal Bugzilla resolutions (FIXED, INVALID, WONTFIX, LATER,
REMIND, WORKSFORME).
Bug reports that are resolved as LATER or REMIND will include comments
as to whether those specific issues will be dealt with in a subsequent
beta, release candidate, or final release, or whether they will be
scheduled for consideration in a subsequent release time frame.
Bugs To Be Addressed
The following bugs must be addressed before Final Release of Struts 1.1.
