[VOTE] 10.2.1.5 release
I have abandoned my first, flawed build of the 10.2 release. Thanks to
Dan, Jean, Andrew, and Knut Anders for finding the initial defects. I
have re-spun a new build, 10.2.1.5, which hopefully addresses all of the
issues (except for the spurious derby.logs which Jean found in the
source distributions). This candidate passed a sanity run of the
derbyall regression tests. You may find the 10.2.1.5 release candidate here:
http://people.apache.org/~rhillegas/10.2.1.5/
Please download this candidate, test it, and vote on whether you can
accept it as a Derby release. I would like to close the vote at 5:00 pm
San Francisco time on Wednesday October 4, 2006. Please let me know if
you think we need to extend the vote to allow more testing.
We still need someone to build the Eclipse UI plugin and include our
LICENSE and NOTICE files. See DERBY-1529. It would be good to know in
the next couple days who is going to re-spin the Eclipse UI plugin.
Thanks once again to everyone for all of your hard work.
Regards,
-Rick

Correct; I have successfully used the SQL/XML support using Xalan 2.7.
The release note looks good to me. Thanks for adding it, Rick!

Too late for this release, but why not just include a version of Xalan
known to work in the distributions?

<snip Andrews comments on release notes>
If we're going to generate another round of release notes, I'd like to again
mention that I think we should include somewhere the recommended version of
Xalan for use of the SQL/XML operators. The documentation now says that the
user can figure out the minimum version by referring to the release notes--but
we don't actually have that information in the notes.
I've tested with Xalan 2.5 and 2.7 and I think Bryan Pendleton has run tests
with 2.7. So we can we add the following to the release notes?
Using the new SQL/XML Operators
If you intend to use any of the Derby XML operators, you must ensure that
you have 1) a JAXP parser and 2) Apache Xalan in your classpath.
Apache Derby 10.2.1 has been tested with Xalan-Java Version 2.7.0. If you
have a version of Xalan that is earlier than 2.7, the Derby XML operators may
still work. However, it is possible that you will experience unexpected errors
when using the Derby XML operators.
Or wordsmith as needed...?

Thanks, Andrew, for your thorough review. I will make these changes.

I just sent out mail about this. I think I need to spin a new release
candidate. But I'm unsure when I should do this. What are your thoughts?

Hi,
Sorry, just hadn't sent it yet as i was giving it one last scan.
* I think "As in previous releases, 10.2.1.5 functionality includes:"
could just be "10.2.1.5 functionality includes:" since GRANT/REVOKE is
in the list underneath, and wasn't in previous releases.
* The note about building the JDBC 4 source from the -src distribution
is gone, replaced with a link to the wiki, and there's no wiki page
that I can see that describes how to build the JDBC 4 bits from the
source on the wiki or use the scripts in tools/jdbc4.
* DERBY-690 in the new features has an extra ! before ResultSet
* DERBY-31, 100, 117, 400, 515, and 597 are really new
features/improvements but show up in the bugs list.
* long from release note for DERBY-668, SOLUTION looks truncated.
* DERBY-822 long form "Location where errors occur *in an* embedded
environment *from a network client environment*"
* Link to PerformanceDiagnosisTips in DERBY-1357 long form would be
nice, not a big deal though.
That's all I could find. Thanks for waiting for my tardy review and
for taking the time to address all the issues.
What's your plan now for updating, regenerating, recutting the distributions?

Hi Andrew,
I missed your follow-up mail describing problems with the release notes.
Could you re-post it?

FYI, I also spotted a couple more problems in the release notes, which
I'll follow up on in a separate mail asap.

I have verified all of the PGP signatures and MD5s. (btw, I have a
simple script for this if anybody wants it)
I ran the platform tests on Mac OS X 10.4.7 with Apple's JDK 1.5, and
Linux 2.6 x86_64 with Sun JDK 1.5 and IBM 1.5 and no unexpected issues
were encountered.
The paths of the test jars inside the lib-debug jar were messed up,
with the test jars going into a top level 'db-derby-10.2.1.5-bin' dir
instead of -lib-debug. I checked in a fix to trunk with 451065 and
451066. It's pretty ugly, but this could also be fixed by hand and
resigned if you so desired, and ultimately, this is not so bad I would
give the whole release a -1.
However, the source distribution is missing the top-level bin and
maven directories, as well as BUILDING.txt, README, index.html, and
published-api-overview.html. The tools directory is missing
release/build.xml, while tools/testing/derby contains a complete set
of the Derby 10.1 jars.
I'll enter the problems with the -src distribution as a JIRA. I really
think these should be cleaned up before we release.

Because of the structural problems with the first release candidate, I
am cancelling the vote on 10.2.1.5. I will post a new candidate and call
a new vote shortly.
