Question to an bug"fix"

[Ra...@partner.bmw.de]

Hello everybody,

refering to https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51222

This bug has Status "Resolved Fixed". But I´m using 3.9 stable and still have this issue.

According to your Change log http://poi.apache.org/changes.html this bug was not fixed

With a look a the trunk (for e.g. on the XSSFColor.java)

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/src/ooxml/java/org/apache/poi/xssf/usermodel/XSSFColor.java?view=log

This file was not changed in the last 2 years. (Funny is the last check in comment... well it did not...)

So my question is: Will this bug be fixed in 3.10 and if so, when will the stable will be released? (about...)

Thanks
Rainer

It looks like someone had incorrectly marked it as fixed, even though it 
hasn't been yet. I've re-opened it, and tagged it as having a proposed but 
unreviewed patch

Next stable release will depend on getting enough open bugs reviewed, 
especially those with patches outstanding, and someone having the time + 
energy to act as release manager

As for the bug in question, there is a proposed fix, but it hasn't been 
reviewed. If you have time, it would be great if you could download the 
fix, and try applying it to your local checkout of POI. Does it apply 
cleanly? Do all the unit tests pass with it applied? Does the code make 
sense? Does the code fix the problem? Does it cause any other ones? Does 
it have unit tests for the changes it makes? That sort of thing. If you 
could do those, and report back on the bug, that'd speed up the review / 
apply cycle for it
