Not to be a pain, but can you guys move this to the discuss thread to not
muddy the vote results?

The current (1.2) tutorial docs are hosted on the wiki. Knowing that  
we are targeting 1.3.1 for improving documentation, I did not bother  
to create placeholders for all of the incomplete tutorial examples.

Hi Greg,

> Yup. Improving/completing documentation is on the list for 1.3.1.
Ok, I'm sorry to have blocked the release for this, but one point is
improving, another is doesn't have documentation (broken links because
pages doesn't exist in the source distribution), maybe this is only a
problem of missing files on svn, because on Pivot site the exist.

Just entered.

Correct. Finishing this component is on the list for 1.4.

Correct, but they are also incomplete/non-functional.

We still use the StAX API - we just don't require the StAX JARs. The  
problem described in this note is actually due to the fact that we are  
now using the JDK version.

Yup. Improving/completing documentation is on the list for 1.3.1.

It's not really necessary - it is a temporary cert, and it still  
works. Hopefully, when we graduate, we can get a real one.

Again, documentation is on deck for 1.3.1. I don't see any reason to  
hold up this release for that - especially since we're not going to be  
looking to graduate until post-1.3.1.

> And so also the JSON Viewer could be fixed for the final 1.3 release.

I'm not aware of any bugs with JSON Viewer - if you have found one,  
please enter it in JIRA.

Hi,

Here is what I did:

> - Reviewed release notes
> - Reviewed RAT reports

- Downloaded apache-pivot-1.3-incubating-src.zip, verified MD5 sum,
expanded, and verified its contents
- Downloaded apache-pivot-1.3-incubating.zip and verified MD5 sum,
expanded, and verified its contents

//
// From the binary zip:
//

- Reviewed all root files
One question, from "Additional Notes" in RELEASE-NOTES:
TextArea is still not completely functional ?
And the WTKX Translator and Compiler are still present ?

In the README:
> NOTE Pivot uses the StAX API to load and process WTKX source files. Like many
> APIs in the JDK, StAX uses a service discovery mechanism to locate and
But why not also write that now we use the version bundled in the Java
6 Runtime ?
A migration guide from 1.2, or at least some info of the parts removed
in 1.3 (like the bind annotations, etc) could be useful i think.

- Reviewed contents of lib directory, and decompressed jars
- Reviewed Javadoc contents, and see some pages

- Deployed pivot_demos.war to local Tomcat 6.0.18 instance
- Verified successful execution of "Kitchen Sink", "Stock Tracker",
"JSON Viewer" -> note that pasting inside the contents of
TerraTheme_test.json i got 2 times the color[] in the tree (someone
has this ?),
"Scripting", "Table Row Editor", "Large Data Sets", "RSS Feed", "DOM
Interaction", "Fixed Column Table", "Multiple Selection"

- Deployed pivot_tutorials.war to local Tomcat 6.0.18 instance
- Verified successful execution of "Sample Application", "Hello,
World!", and all other examples
-- Note that the following pages (referenced my some links, like that
in tutorials index) doesn't exist:
Calendars
Menus
Table Views
Tree Views
File Browsing
Windows
The Clipboard
Drag and Drop
Drawing
Effects
Background Tasks
Web Queries
Data Binding
Localization
Scripting

while in the real Pivot site they exist (some are empty).


//
// From the source zip:
//

- Reviewed all root files
- Executed all build targets described in BUILD file
-- all ok, only it's still present the annoying ant warning on the
missing xbean.jar ...
-- in the ant install there is a warning:

  [signjar] Warning:
  [signjar] The signer certificate has expired.
should that certificate be renewed ?


I think documentation is an important point (also for the perception
of the quality of the project), so I'd like to vote -1 at the moment.
And so also the JSON Viewer could be fixed for the final 1.3 release.


That's all,
Sandro

Absolutely Yes, many thanks to you and Todd !!

Re: [VOTE] Release Pivot 1.3 RC1

Posted by Greg Brown <gk...@mac.com>.
Agreed. The fix is in - why don't we add placeholder docs for the  
missing tutorial pages and re-tag for RC2?

Sandro, thanks for catching the HashMap bug. Does this sufficiently  
address your concerns for 1.3?

Given the state of the investigation for PIVOT-252, it looks like this bug
is indeed a show-stopper.  I change my vote to a -1 in favor of getting this
important bug fix in.

Here's what I tested:

   - Verified all MD5, SHA, and PGP signatures against the artifacts
   - Verified that the contents of the tar.gz artifacts matched that of the
   zip artifacts
   - Verified that the contents of the source distribution matched that of
   the SVN tag exactly
   - Verified that the source distribution compiles against the following
   environments without error (checked clean, build, and doc targets):
      - Linux x64 - Sun JDK 1.6
      - Linux x64 - Sun JDK 1.7
      - Linux x64 - OpenJDK 1.6
      - Windows x86 - Sun JDK 1.6
   - Inspected source and binary distribution RAT reports:
      - Checked that all files were properly licensed
      - Checked that all non-Pivot jars and applicable binary files were
      covered by the NOTICE file
   - Ran all demos and tools applications that were built with the source
   distribution in the desktop application context
   - Ran the tools applications against the binary distribution
   - Loaded the web archives into a Tomcat instance, and verified that all
   demos and tutorials that are included in the binary distribution run
   - Browsed the Javadocs in the binary distribution and those built against
   the source distribution
   - Tried to build against JDK1.5 to verify proper failure
