RE: 3.0 alpha1 build [PATCH] status & news

["Kalnichevski, Oleg" <ol...@bearingpoint.com>]

Mike,

I feel we need a little stronger and more focused sales pitch. This is going to be a very important release for all of us and our message must be loud and clear with regards to what this release is intended to be and what its intended target is. If we fail to generate enough interest in the coming two to three months, we increase the risk of finding ourselves in an unpleasant situation with too many people expressing unhappiness with the new API after the official API freeze.

Here's my attempt at extending status & news pages. Feel free to make any modifications you deem necessary.

Oleg

Subject: 3.0 alpha1 build


I've uploaded the 3.0 alpha1 build to my apache account
<http://www.apache.org/~mbecke/httpclient-3.0-alpha1/>.  Please have a
look and let me know if I've missed anything.  This release was created
with JDK1.3.1 since it seems that Maven RC2 does not work with 1.2.2. 
I don't think this will cause any issues, but if anyone is using 1.2.2
please give it a shot.  This is also the first time I've signed a
release.  My public key is in the KEYS file so please try that out as
well.

My plan is to finish this off tomorrow night and post the release.  I
was thinking of leaving the 2.0 docs as the main HttpClient page, and
just adding a link to the 3.0 version in another directory.

Mike
