Link to 1.4 release on jakarta.apache.org/binindex.html ?

Conor:

When do we anticipate updating the link under "Release Builds"  ?

Maybe you wanted to wait a few days to shake out bugs?

Speaking of which, did you want to make another build to grab the 
inheritAll fix?

No problem.  Hate when that happens...

I like the idea of a 1.4.1 release, and agree that we would want to wait 
a few weeks to shake
out more defects.  

I guess the only real issue is for the release engineer (is that still 
you? :-)   Whomever it is
will have to separate out "new functionality" type patches and "bug fix" 
type patches into
a 1.5 alpha branch and a 1.4.X branch respectively.  

It would be a Good Thing to do it this way, so that "new functionality" 
patches could get
committed sooner rather than later but still not jeopardize stability of 
1.4.X

my 2cents,

Hope your box is going to recover rather soon 8-) I went ahead and
added the links - do you have some blurb to add to the Jakarta-News
page (and several announcement places like freshmeat and OSD and so
on)?

+1 to both (including waiting to accumulate some more bug fixes).

Craeg,

I have to submit a patch to get that to happen. Right now my dev machine is
in a large number of small pieces, so it will take me a few days to get
around to it.

With regard to another release, I'm not sure. The broken images can be fixed
and the 1.4 release rebuilt since there is no functionality changes. The
other bugs could be fixed in a 1.4.1 release. We haven't done such point
releases in the past but I see no problem with doing that. The alternative
would be to live with them until and if there is a 1.5 release. At the
moment, I'm inclined to go for a 1.4.1 release, but we should certainly wait
for more bug reports before we move on that.

Thoughts?

Conor
