MyFaces 1.1.5 Release Status?

This is yet another release status request.

Current open issue with a Fix Version = 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT
 > MYFACES-1372    <h:messages> not shown (-> not working)
** Per an 8-Dec-2006 Posting from Mike Kienenberger:
MYFACES-1372    <h:messages> not shown (-> not working) is important,
but it's been broken for 18 months.   It's not a regression as far as
I know.

 > MYFACES-1409    incorrect behavior after RESTORE_VIEW responseComplete

 > MYFACES-1411    Lifecycle phase executions repetitions
** Per an 8-Dec-2006 Posting from Mike Kienenberger:
MYFACES-1411 has I.P. issues.


 > MYFACES-1506    Translated messages in Messages.properties files
** Per an 8-Dec-2006 Posting from Mike Kienenberger:
MYFACES-1506 is an improvement.   It can be moved to 1.1.6.  Actually,
this is a Tomahawk issue, not a MyFaces one.  Should be moved.  Not
sure how Messages.properties interacts with Tomahawk, though.


None of the above issue are marked as blockers.  Are any of the actually
blockers to the 1.1.5 release?


What is holding up this release?

AFAICT, we don't yet have a contributor agreement from Nikolay Petrov
for MYFACES-1411.

Well yes, unless you are comfortable applying the patches yourself and 
maintaining/building the source locally. While this will always be the 
preferred solution for a select few of the users, the broad majority of 
us would be much better served by official maintenance releases.

I would second that. There is no way to apply bug-fix patches without
upgrading to a newer, "not-stable-yet" snapshot nightly build.

Yes, if it were "current" (i.e. the trunk) it wouldn't be "stable". It 
was branched ~2 months ago.

This seems such a common tendency of the myfaces team, to be eager to 
get the new functionality out and released. The problem with this is 
that, despite lengthening your release cycle, you are still having 
trouble with release stability. In order to achieve this stability, you 
either need to be willing to branch for extensive testing before a 
release (even though it is meanwhile "getting out of date"). Or, you can 
take a look at ideas like Paul Spencer's idea for following a Tomcat 
style of release.

If you're going to be releasing code that is only a few days or a week 
fresh from the trunk, then you're going to need to start releasing 
maintenance updates to gradually add to their stability. I'm just a 
humble user, but this is my 2 cents...

Thomas,
I sent a few posts relative to Revision: 483569 this morning.  That revision has
broken Tomahawk.  I am hoping the commiter will resolve the problem quickly.

tomahawk 1.1.4 branch is quite out of date by now. I'd like to skip
this one, and start releasing core and tomahawk 1.1.5 asap.
