Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.0-beta4
Introduction
------------
This is a beta release of Apache Jackrabbit 2.0. This release is a fully
compliant implementation of the JCR 2.0 API that was specified by the
Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283).
However, the beta status of this release means that some parts of the
implementation are not yet ready for normal production use.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
Jackrabbit 2.0 is a major upgrade from the earlier 1.x releases. The most
notable changes in this release are:
* Upgrade to JCR 2.0. This Jackrabbit release implements and is based
on the official JCR 2.0 API. All of the features required by the
JSR 283 specification have been implemented.
* Upgrade to Java 5. All of Jackrabbit (except the jcr-tests component)
now requires Java 5 as the base platform. Java 1.4 environments are no
longer supported.
* Removal of deprecated classes and features. Jackrabbit 2.0 is not
backwards compatible with client code that used any classes or features
that had been deprecated during the 1.x release cycle.
* Separate JCR Commons components. Many of the general-purpose JCR
components like JCR-RMI and OCM are now developed and released
separately from the Jackrabbit content repository. See the individual
components for their most recent releases.
* Database connection pooling is now available for all database backends.
* Data store feature enabled in the default repository configuration.
* Full text indexing with Apache Tika. Jackrabbit can now extract and
index the full text content of many new types of documents, including
the Office Open XML files produced by Microsoft Office 2007 and higher.
For more detailed information about all the changes in this and other
Jackrabbit releases, please see the Jackrabbit issue tracker at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR
Release Contents
----------------

legal, and financial support for more than 100 freely-available,

I didn't see the problem but then again I don't have anything at port
80 on my computer. I reopened JCR-2326 since I agree that the test
should not depend on such environment factors.

Good point.

Hi,
[X] +1 Release this package as Apache Jackrabbit 2.0-beta4
- checksums [OK]
- signature [OK]
- license, notice, header and readme files [OK]
- maven build [OK with two failed tests] with Ubuntu Jaunty / Sun Java
1.6.0_14-b08
Two test cases prevent the build from being successful but
i think these tests are not critical for releasing a beta version:
- org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.IndexingQueueTest#testQueue
- org.apache.jackrabbit.client.RepositoryFactoryImplTest#testGetSpi2davexRepository
The first one has already been discussed with Jackrabbit Core #947 build [1].
The second has been marked as fixed in JCR-2326 [2] but the test case is
still active and it already happened with the 2.0-beta3 release.
I am also thinking about adding a note in the RELEASE-NOTES.txt
about the libraries upgraded with JCR-2389 [3] for people who are
not using Maven.
I do not test the maven artifacts just the source package and the war.
