Next release of POI/XmlBeans?
Hi *,
I'm currently working on getting XmlBeans fit for Java 9+ - i.e. moving the resources from /schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans to a real package and being compatible to former releases - and it gives me a bit of a hard time.
But nevertheless we might want push the next release for POI and XmlBeans.
I'm busy next week, but could take care about the releases the week afterwards.
How is everyone with the current snapshot of both?
Anyone willing to jump in as a release manager?

Yeah, good time to release some of the bugfixes that went into both source
trees!

Hi,
The first link actually compared current 4.1.0 to "4.0.2-SNAPSHOT", i.e.
some intermediate version. I have now re-run the comparison against 4.0.1
(called 4.0.1RC2 in my database), results are similar, but not fully equal.
The new comparison is available at the following links:
- 4.0.1-RC2 to 4.1.0-RC1
<http://people.apache.org/~centic/poi_regression/reports/index401RC2to410RC1.html>
- 4.1.0-RC1-All
<http://people.apache.org/~centic/poi_regression/reportsAll/index401RC2to410RC1.html>
There are always a few possibilities for differences, some change actually
broke something that worked before. These are the changes that we are
looking for and should try to fix before release.
But sometimes we do more checks in the regression tests, then also some
files may fail which worked before (this time at least the ones with
HSSFOptimiser.optimiseFonts in the stacktrace). These do not need to be
fixed as it was caused by production-code change.
Finally sometimes new support for features triggers new failures, e.g. by
making it possible to handle more types of images, we triggered a few
things in the slideshow-handling. We can try to fix those, but sometimes it
is hard and we may decide to release nevertheless.

Re: Next release of POI/XmlBeans?

When was the previous regression run?
Some of the formula errors mention invalid sheet names, including
empty strings. The fix for #60460 committed Dec. 30 handled null
sheet names in SheetNameEvaluator, but perhaps that change should also
check and handle empty strings?
I've never actually touched HSSF, but since the vast majority of these
new failures in o.a.p.ss.formula.* involve stacks with "*Name*"
methods and HSSF files, this seems like a reasonable place to start
looking.
Several of the o.a.p.ss.formula.* errors are for known
not-yet-supported items, like SxNamePtg (id=0x18, prints as "24" in
the stacks)

Re: Next release of POI/XmlBeans?
Posted by Dominik Stadler <do...@gmx.at>.
A first run of the regression tests for Apache POI is done. It still uses
XMLBeans 3.0.2, I will re-run a 2nd time later when we have XmlBeans 3.0.3
final available.
There are new failures with a high amount of failing documents compared to
4.0.x, however these are caused by the addition of a call to
HSSFOptimiser.optimiseFonts() in the regression test itself, so these are
not actual regressions, just more testing.
Apart from that a number of SlideShow drawing related items, probably due
to support for more features and a few FormulaParser related ones which we
should take a quick look at why they fail now.
Details are available at the following links:
- 4.0.1-RC1 to 4.1.0-RC1
<http://people.apache.org/~centic/poi_regression/reports/index402SNAPSHOTto410RC1.html>

Re: Next release of POI/XmlBeans?
Posted by "pj.fanning" <fa...@yahoo.com>.
For xmlbeans, I would recommend getting the release jars and zips from
https://builds.apache.org/view/P/view/POI/job/POI-XMLBeans-DSL-1.6/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/
This guarantees the jars were built with Java 6.
For the nexus release, I follow this guide:
https://central.sonatype.org/pages/manual-staging-bundle-creation-and-deployment.html
I use `gpg -ab` to create the asc files for the 3 jars and for the pom file.
I use the pom file from the previous release and edit it to update the
version. Create a bundle.jar as described in the sonatype link and upload
the bundle.jar to https://repository.apache.org/
To release the source and bin bundles, you need to use svn to work with
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/poi/xmlbeans/release svn repo.
The xmlbeans site is updated using the svn repo
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlbeans/site
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Hi Greg,
> 1. what work remains before releasing a new XMLBeans?
I'm not committing to trunk currently, but to a branch. I'm not planning to include my changes in the current release, as I haven't tested them yet thoroughly.
> 2. How do I build, tag, and release XMLBeans?
tag: via svn
build: ant package
release:
create sha files manually - actually you still need to create sha1/md5 because of INFRA-14923
via svn -> upload to dist area
and via nexus upload + own pom.xml
> 3. What version numbers do we want to use?
your versions are correct
The high "don't screw this up" quotient is good, at least we benefit if someone else is looking through the process.
The only bit which is kind of irreversible is the nexus release to maven central, which has to be manually invoked.
So give it a go, we will have a look at the release candidate files anyways.
Thank you for taking care of the releases.

Re: Next release of POI/XmlBeans?
Posted by Greg Woolsey <gr...@gmail.com>.
OK, I think I'm reasonably familiar now with the POI release build
process, thank you to all who have contributed to the detailed
release-guide.txt.
However, there is no such document I can find for XMLBeans, and it
sounds like there may be an open question or two there?
Further, if I'm reading the emails correctly, there are changes to
XMLBeans that should be released first, so that POI can be updated to
use that new version before building a POI release candidate. Is that
correct?
So, my questions, for timing and completeness, are:
1. what work remains before releasing a new XMLBeans?
2. How do I build, tag, and release XMLBeans?
3. What version numbers do we want to use? These seem to be the next ones up:
- XMLBeans 3.0.3
- POI 4.1.0
I'm sure there will be more, not having driven a release before, and
experiencing a high "don't screw this up" quotient :)

Regarding POI:
After setting up the environment - its merely calling the release-prep* scripts.
I haven't yet updated the link to commons-openpgp - the current snapshot version should be compatible to the current bouncycastle jar.
Regarding XmlBeans:
I've started to modify the build to include the maven pom on my branch,
but for trunk you need to download a recent pom.xml and update the information manually,
@PJ: since 19.01.19 there's xmlbeans nexus upload lingering around - maybe you want to drop it?
For both projects, you should be able to access the nexus staging areas:
http://repository.apache.org
-> login with your Apache credentials
-> Staging profiles : should contain xmlbeans and poi entries

Re: Next release of POI/XmlBeans?

I don't notice XMLBeans except when it breaks, and it hasn't been for
me, so I'm happy with that. I'd love a new release soon with the
change I just made, that would help a lot with some significant
changes I'm submitting to the Vaadin UI component that uses POI. And
it was my math error in the first place. Sigh.
I've not done a release yet, but I'd be willing to read the docs and
take a stab at it if no one else has time.

+1 to release.
The snapshots are in a good shape and we've fixed a solid number of bugs
