[vote] VelocityTools 1.2 release plan
hey folks,
it's been a long time since VelocityTools 1.1 final was released. in
the meantime, we've made many improvements and fixes, and so has the
Struts project. since both Struts and Velocity are gearing up for big
evolutionary releases (Struts 1.3 and Velocity 1.5) with growing
rumors of revolution (Struts Ti? Clarity? Velocity 2?) on the horizon,
i think it is high time we got VelocityTools 1.2 out the door. The
bug list is clear, and i'm eager to get this released.
Major changes in this release are:
- Support for Struts 1.2.7
- Added support for tool configuration parameters in toolbox.xml
- VelocityView (and VelocityStruts) now use a VelocityEngine instead
of the Velocity singleton
- Many new tools (AbstractPagerTool, ValueParser, SortTool, ListTool,
BrowserSnifferTool, EscapeTool, and Alternator)
- Many improvements to existing tools (DateTool, MathTool, etc.)
- Many bug fixes
- And other miscellaneous improvements...
My personal take on the state of the codebase is that the code is
ready, and i've cleaned up and prepared the documentation. The only
hang up is that one bum JSP in the velstruts example app that i wrote
about this morning. At this point, i've put more time than i should
into getting this ready. If no one can step forward with a fix for
that in the next few days, I will just excise that page from the app.
It is not an essential piece.
This means that within a few days, we will be 100% ready to go (at
least in my opinion). So, i'm asking for support for the following
release plan.
VelocityTools 1.2 Release Plan:
1. Call for a vote on this plan and wait a few days for results.
2. Build a VelocityTools 1.2-rc1 and put it up at
http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/
3. Announce the release candidate on the Velocity, Struts, and
announcements lists.
4. Give people a couple weeks to test it.
5. If no issues are found with it:
a. Call for vote to final release, wait a few days for results,
then notify PMC
b. Rebuild as VelocityTools 1.2 and upload for mirroring and all that
c. Update VelocityTools website docs
d. Announce final release to the various lists, and update
various news pages
6. If issues are found, fix them ASAP and go back to step two.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Vote: VelocityTools 1.2 release plan
[ ] +1 I fully support this plan.
[ ] +0 I like it, but...
[ ] -0 I'm not sure this is a good idea because...
[ ] -1 I am against this because...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My vote is, of course, +1 :)

cool. Consider me fully +1 for your release schedule now.

Struts Ti is currently in the Struts sandbox and, as Nathan said,
something Don Brown has spearheaded. Details here:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsTi
Clarity is a discussion between Spring MVC, Apache Beehive, Struts and
WebWork to stop competing in the web framework arena and collaborate
on a single "knock em dead" web framework:
http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/WAG/Clarity
Also Kito Mann has also started a similar discussion and set up a
yahoo group to discuss a similar thing:

Ti being short for Titanium and being a Don Brown spearheaded effort.
though he may have set it aside to work on Clarity. i don't know. i
just lightly lurk on dev@struts and hear strange rumors. :)

actually, it should still even work with Velocity 1.3. i won't add
1.5 dependencies until after 1.5 is released. and the goal is to get
Tools 1.2 out before core 1.5. :)

ok, thanks to Niall's patch, we're ready to go. assuming there's no
objections before then, i'll go ahead and push a release candidate out
on Sunday (hopefully). :)

no, not yet. after 1.2 is out, i'll look into pulling it over and
sprucing it up for a 1.3 or 2.0 tools release (whichever turns out to

no, not yet. after 1.2 is out, i'll look into pulling it over and
sprucing it up for a 1.3 or 2.0 tools release (whichever turns out to
be next).

sounds fabulous.
Were you planning on including veltag in the Velocity Tools distribution?

Subject: [vote] VelocityTools 1.2 release plan
hey folks,
it's been a long time since VelocityTools 1.1 final was released. in
the meantime, we've made many improvements and fixes, and so has the
Struts project. since both Struts and Velocity are gearing up for big
evolutionary releases (Struts 1.3 and Velocity 1.5) with growing
rumors of revolution (Struts Ti? Clarity? Velocity 2?) on the horizon,
i think it is high time we got VelocityTools 1.2 out the door. The
bug list is clear, and i'm eager to get this released.
Major changes in this release are:
- Support for Struts 1.2.7
- Added support for tool configuration parameters in toolbox.xml
- VelocityView (and VelocityStruts) now use a VelocityEngine instead
of the Velocity singleton
- Many new tools (AbstractPagerTool, ValueParser, SortTool, ListTool,
BrowserSnifferTool, EscapeTool, and Alternator)
- Many improvements to existing tools (DateTool, MathTool, etc.)
- Many bug fixes
- And other miscellaneous improvements...
My personal take on the state of the codebase is that the code is
ready, and i've cleaned up and prepared the documentation. The only
hang up is that one bum JSP in the velstruts example app that i wrote
about this morning. At this point, i've put more time than i should
into getting this ready. If no one can step forward with a fix for
that in the next few days, I will just excise that page from the app.
It is not an essential piece.
This means that within a few days, we will be 100% ready to go (at
least in my opinion). So, i'm asking for support for the following
release plan.
VelocityTools 1.2 Release Plan:
1. Call for a vote on this plan and wait a few days for results.
2. Build a VelocityTools 1.2-rc1 and put it up at
http://people.apache.org/~nbubna/
3. Announce the release candidate on the Velocity, Struts, and
announcements lists.
4. Give people a couple weeks to test it.
5. If no issues are found with it:
a. Call for vote to final release, wait a few days for results,
then notify PMC
b. Rebuild as VelocityTools 1.2 and upload for mirroring and all that
c. Update VelocityTools website docs
d. Announce final release to the various lists, and update
various news pages
6. If issues are found, fix them ASAP and go back to step two.

Vote: VelocityTools 1.2 release plan
[ ] +1 I fully support this plan.
[ ] +0 I like it, but...
[ ] -0 I'm not sure this is a good idea because...
[ ] -1 I am against this because...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My vote is, of course, +1 :)
