-----------------------------------------

because nobody seems to object, i committed the m2relnotes.html doc to site. will add links from sitemap and DRLVM navigator.

could somebody please verify that the latest README is packed with M2? if yes, we can close the issue. a new one can be opened for M3 relnotes

Nadya,

I checked the M2 package and found out that it contains the outdated version of the README file. 
 
Could somebody correct this, please?

Cheers,
Sveta

Naveen Neelakantam commented on HARMONY-4277:
---------------------------------------------

It looks very nice!

One comment: if a "Resolved Issues" and "New Features" section is included it should include more extensive lists.  As it stands it looks like not very much has been done since M1, and that is very much not the case.

Two new features that I know of:
HARMONY-3630: [drlvm] Improvements to profile-based devirtualizer
HARMONY-1788: [drlvm] Bounds check elimination (ABCD)

Maybe others can help by pointing out other fixes or improvements that have been incorporated since M1.  If not, I suggest removing the "Resolved Issues" and "New Features" sections.

tatyana doubtsova commented on HARMONY-4277:
--------------------------------------------

Nadya,

I suggest the following for release notes:

Overview

Currently Harmony support following list of applications:
Apache Struts, checked by scenario
Apache Axis2, checked by scenario
Jetty, checked by scenario
SciMark, checked by scenario
Tomcat, checked by scenario
DaCapo, checked by scenario
Apache Ant, checked by Harmony self-hosting scenario
Eclipse 3.2, checked by typical Eclipse usage scenario running for 48 hours and Eclipse 3.2 Unit Tests (pass rate is >99%, with bugs in tests were workarounded).
Scenarios are available from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony/enhanced/buildtest/branches/2.0
Runtime validation was focused primarily on win x86, default runtime configuration.

Resolved issues - I suggest to remove the list of issues, the link to list of issues resolved between M1 and M2 seems to be useful.

Known limitations.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-4215, 7 reliability tests fail due to the issue. 
Those tests load threading system hard. 
Eclipse Unit Tests "teamcvs" suite can fail / crash due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-4298.

Other known VM limitations:
http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/KnownNonBugIssuesAndLimitations
http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/CoreVmDevelopmentItems

(I hope the last 2 links are up-to-date)

Nadya Morozova commented on HARMONY-4277:
-----------------------------------------

"Resolved Issues" and "New Features" 

I do not think we can list all fixed issues and all contributions in a release notes - we've done so much since M1:)
however, we can highlight the most important things, such as 
- Accepted and integrated a number of contributions to JCL with the overall coverage of %% of the set, see Known Limitations for a list of non-implemented classlibs
- Ported the code to 1.5.0 from 1.4.2, and moving on to 1.6.0 (6.0 version not included in this milestone)
- Fixed a whole of xxx bugs to ensure stability
- Achieved such and such performance
These are just examples of the key features we can include in the release notes, we'd just need to choose the most important high-level achievements.

"Known Limitations" and Bugs
should probably include only critical unimplemented required features, important unfixed bugs, etc. if people get interested in details, JIRA is always there:)
