[Math] Toward 3.0 release: First deliverables
Hi.
I managed to complete part of the release process:
Tag on SVN:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_0_RC1/
Artefacts on Nexus:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-010/
I'm still stuck with the "staged" web site (cf. other post); but you can
already have a look at the above deliverables. Please let me know of
anything that requires correction.
Regards,
Gilles

The API have been stabilized since a few weeks and reviewed. The latest
problems identified seems to me merely implementation details. such
problems can be fixed in a 3.1 version if needed. This would even force
us to really release more often, which is clearly our greatest problem
for [math] now.

Some of these fields have been designed like this for years (the ODE
package was started in 2002 in another library and imported in [math] in
2006 for example). Of course we should go for better encapsulation,
better design. But we are late. Very late.

This cannot be adressed before 3.0. [math] is *not* thread safe and does
not intend to be, at least for now.
I strongly agree with Gilles desire to get 3.0 out soon. In fact, I know
two important operational projects that need it really really soon.
Delaying the release would be a very negative sign.
The current state of 3.0 is good. It has been used for months by
numerous users, but now some of them need an official release, they
cannot rely on a development snapshot any longer.
We must release 3.0 now.

Luc

I think there are quite a few things that need checking before it is
safe to do a release.
This is the first release with the new package, so it's a chance to
fix all the inherited poor APIs.
We need to try and apply all the changes that will break binary
compat. before this release, rather than after.
As such, any mutable public or protected variables should ideally be
made private.
Thread-safety is harder to achieve with mutable variables, so any
classes with setter methods should be checked to see if the setters
are really needed or not.

The Math pom used to override the location; maybe that works differently in M3.

I used M2.
If you are using M3, then it may not (just) be an OS-specific issue.

I know, I tried countless times; but it did not work here until the
"changes.xml" file was copied to the place expected by the plugin.
[I was using v2.4 and then v2.6 of the "changes" plugin.]

Well, either maven is broken, or the plugin, since the same command does not
behave the same on different machines (it's Linux here). I'm glad that it
was not a PIBKAC.

Fixed.
Also updated the VM file so it no longer generates LF-only EOLs on
Windows for multiline changes paragraphs.

The command to generate the release notes is:
mvn changes:announcement-generate [-Dchanges.version=3.0]
The version can be provided as shown to override the version in the POM.

The command:
mvn changes:announcement-generate
works for me.
However, the file is not in the standard place (nor does it have the
standard name) as expected by commons-parent.

It seems that
1. The file "RELEASE-NOTES.txt" in trunk has not changed for release 2.2
2. It was generated automatically (or it should anyways).
There is a note in the "UsingNexus" document:
---CUT---
Ensure that the release notes refer to the release version, not snapshot. If
using automatic release note generation from changes.xml, the following
command should update the file:
mvn changes:changes-report changes:announcement-generate
The file generated is target/announcement/announcement.vm

But it does not work here. The output of

It misses a file, so I deduce that this plugin is not used for the "math"
component; unfortunately there is no reference as to what might replace it.
:-{
There is indeed a "changes.xml" file, but it is located in "src/site/xdoc".
Since it is processed as part of the "site" plugin, I thought/imagined/hoped
that it would also generate what is referred to as "release notes"...

Gilles
P.S. Sébastien,
What you could do anyway is add a section in the "NOTICE.txt" file
about the original code/algorithm.

Hi Gilles,
could we make the following additions to the release notes?
New features
MATH-655: framework for iterative linear solvers. Implementation of
two solvers: conjugate gradient, SYMMLQ.
Changes
MATH-677, MATH-743: several changes to the API in the transform package.
Best regards,
Sébastien

Hi.
I managed to complete part of the release process:
Tag on SVN:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/tags/MATH_3_0_RC1/
Artefacts on Nexus:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-010/
I'm still stuck with the "staged" web site (cf. other post); but you can
already have a look at the above deliverables. Please let me know of
anything that requires correction.
