Showstopper in Excalibur 4.0b2

I would like to propose a vote to release 4.0b3 for
Avalon/Excalibur (quietly no general announcements)
due to a major bug I found in Excalibur's Component
Management framework.  The bug stemmed from the
deprecation of the DefaultComponentManager/Selector
and moving to ExcaliburComponentManager/Selector.

The DefaultComponentFactory tested to see if we
have an instance of a "DefaultComponentSelector"
instead of the "ExcaliburComponentSelector".  When
I migrated Cocoon to use the propper version of
the ComponentSelector, this ugly bug showed up.


I would like to test and then release Beta 3 for
Framework/Excalibur.  I am updating the Change
docs now.

+1 to that.

Leo, who is going to write an avalon-based/JAMES-compatible/
Tomcat-contained webmail client for his new employer, but has lots
of problems getting them to allow an OS release...

Fine by me. I would prefer minor releases for this sort of thing (ie 2.1)
but 3 works for me aswell ;)
