[validator] Towards a release
I'd like to get a release of commons-validator out the door, as Struts
1.3 would like to use some of its new bug fixes and features.
I'm pretty new to validator, so I'm not familar with its history. Any
reason we haven't released 1.2? In the past when I fixed bugs, folks
backported them to the 1.1.x branch; why not just roll 1.2 or at least
roll it in addition to a bug fix release for 1.1.x?
There are a couple more validator open bugs that I can sew up, if I
saw a release as a near-term possibility.
LMK, thanks,
Don

I believe I applied the form inheritance patch back in early 2004, and
at the time we
were trying to get a stable version of Validator out for Struts 1.2.X
series and creating the
Branch seemed the thing to do. 1.2 is also the version that David
removed deprecated
methods so releasing 1.2 seemed like it could wait incase any more
refactoring took place
that would further change the interface.

+1 to you being the release manager.

True, but it is a start. I'm +1 on aiming for a 1.2 beta of
commons-validator to coincide roughly with a Struts 1.3 release. I've
wittled down the bug list to one real bug and it kinda has a patch for
it available.
Looking at the steps on our site [1], looks like the first step is
voting a release manager. I nominate myself, although if someone else
wants to do it, you'd be doing me a favor :)

Thats my memory as well - the main change being inheritance, plus a few bug
fixes and deprecations being removed. Personally I haven't tried out
inheritance, so I can't vouch for it - but releasing a beta might prompt a
wider audience to give it a go. The main "hurdle"IMO to people moving or
trying out validator 1.2 is going to be the fact that the deprecated arg0 -
arg3 elements have been removed. If people are still using them, then they
can't simply drop in their existing validation.xml file and give it a go.

If I remember right, 1.2 (HEAD) includes form inheritance which wasn't
widely tested. Niall might
remember more details. I think releasing 1.2.0 from HEAD would be fine so
we don't have to go through the error prone process of maintaining two
branches. Thanks for picking up the Validator torch!
