Toward 1.5.5 : Bug report #1

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@apache.org>]

Hi,

as we have fixed many major bugs lately in the server, it may be time to 
think about a release. Last release has been done more than 9 months 
ago, and 1.5.5 looks quite better, as 86 issues has been fixed since 
then - 58 of them being bugs.

However, there are 23 remaining bugs in trunk, one Blocker, and one 
Critical. I'm quite sure that some of them can be fixed, some can be 
postponed, or even discarded.

Here is the list aff all the opened issues for 1.5.5

B : Blocker
C : Critical
M : Major
m : Minor
T : Trivial
