Planning the 2.1.5 release

It's time to think about the next release. As far as I can see there
are currently no real showstoppers.

So, is there something that we should do for the 2.1.5 release?

Unfortunately I'm not one of the few poor "giza"(s) using Eclipse, so, 
got no clue of what you're talking about... :-P

Anyhow, I split up the block... The big-big OOME-generating part are 
the charsets, and I've simply factored them out into an ignorable 
subdirectory, with its own build file, generating a JAR which gets 
copied at compile time...

Also, to generate the charsets you mostly need J2SDK 1.4, so, it might 
have broken some other stuff... blablabla... Putting all into a JAR 
solves the problem AFAICS...

Can the Eclipsers give it a shot?

well, I just modify the project/properties in eclipse and throw away the 
block sources from the build path... that just works

would be nice though if we had a version of the 'eclipse-project' target 
that would do it for me by taking into account the 
local.blocks.properties (hey, was that a hint?)

Might be.

I tested it with only the serializers block enabled: OutOfMemoryError. 
While I can build Cocoon with all blocks enabled except serializers block.

Something special must be about this block's sources, maybe the huge arrays.

This might work for the build system, but not for Eclipse or other IDEs.

I seriously suspect that it breaks because of memory leaks in JavaC 
when doing a full cocoon build, from the beginning with a lot of blocks 
enabled.

I noticed it once doing a full build, and then it went away once I 
removed some other blocks.

I'm sure that if that block could be built easily if the "javac" task 
"fork" attribute can be set to true...

Is there a way to override compilation settings for individual blocks?

Yes, this happended some minutes ago to me as well :(
We could simply exclude the block for the release.

There is a problem with the new serializers block. From the developers I seem to
be the only one having problems [1], but today this issue was also raised by two
persons on the users list [2]. Imagine what happens if this is released as it is!

But we should not do 2.1.5 release in the middle of some cforms commit, 
so to speak. That's the concern, as I understand it, Upayavira raised. 
If current state of cforms is "stable" enough in its instability, then 
fine, we can do a release. But if no enough testing was done since last 
commit to cforms, let's do it and make release later, once we know that 
current state of cforms is not worth than woody.

Since I am working with Marc and also held up by other projects, this
means there is no need to wait for me either.  I would love to see a
release with the woody->cforms renaming done so we can convert to it.

Also, I have been busy on other things and not able to check, but is
the "early validation" problem completely fixed?  That is one issue
that should not slip into the next release.

marc had to postpone the work he planned for this week, no need to wait
for that in order to do a release.

I wasn't considering it a blocking item - I was just saying, more or 
less, "let's not release in the middle of a commit!"

All I'd want is a CForms chap to say, "Yes, now is an okay time to 
release, CForms is working". Then I'd be happy (and delighted, actually) 
to have a release.

Hope that's clear enough!

CForms is stabilizing quickly, but we'll still need a bit more time to 
stamp it as "stable". So let's not consider CForms as a blocking item 
for a 2.1.5. On the contrary, I think many people are waiting for it to 
start the move from Woody to CForms.

I second this opinion (from the looks of it seems that there is no 
roadblock for 2.1.5? I'm behind my mail....)

Liaise with the CForms guys to find the best time for them.Theirs is the 
code that is changing the most, and if 2.1.5 is going to be a CForms 
snapshot, we want it to be a reasonably good one!

Otherwise - just go for it!
