bugfix release of java xml-sec?

[Raul Benito <ra...@apache.org>]

Hi All,

First of sorry for being so silent all this time, but I have change country
and jobs and it seems that avoiding sleep in the street took too many time
;)

Regarding the 1.4.0 release, it seems that several very nasty bugs have pass
our beta/rc testing (well, people seems not to worry with betas/rc and that
is very big problem):
 - The UTF8 Encoding problem (
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41462).
 - Same key different algorithms problem (
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41520)

I have fixed and tested the UTF8 encoding(there is still a character that I
don't get right), and I'm going to begin with the 41520.
When I finish this I think we should begin planning a 1.4.1 bugfix release,
where we include more fixes, but try to target for one month release. What
do you people think?

And also what people think can we do to involve people in beta testing?

Regards,

Raul

I don't know, can we give out free beer or t-shirts or something? ;)
