Doh. Glen beat me to it. Constitutional issue here. Is the PMC to ratify
releases yet? I heard Sam whisper something to that effect and I vaguely
remember not dissenting on the issue, but I don¹t recall ratifying any...

FW: [VOTE] 2.0-pre1 release (results/Status)
Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>.
With several +1 votes and no dissents we're moving ahead with the release
plan for 2.0-pre1 and branch merge. I'll sum it up here...
Essentially:
We have 3 active branches:
1. HEAD
2. 1.5x (last release)
3. poi-performance - a refactoring of the HEAD to suck down less memory
We're going to close the 1.5 series. Release 2.0-pre and branch that from
the head. Then we'll merge poi-performance into the HEAD.
2.0 will continue to stabilize in its own branch. And we'll work on making
the more courageous changes to the head and start releasing dev builds again
from there.
2.0 will be released with a slightly less ambitious feature set than
originally envisioned; however, having a stable release more modern than the
nearly year old 1.5.1 is seen as far more healthy for the project.
In the future I plan to push for more frequent releases with slightly less
ambitious goals as I think that will be better for project health. I
suspect this vote nods heads at this.
Progress:
We've now migrated to an ant/forrest based build/documentation system which
is successfully working. There are some hiccups yet to be resolved in the
gump descriptor, but I've full confidence that these will be resolved
shortly and certainly in time for the 2.0-final release.
Thanks,
Andy
