Re: 0.95 release candidate
Hi Charles,
happy new year and sorry for the very late feedback (somehow I
overlooked this).
I think we should fix the header in the source files before releasing.
The rat report for the src dist marks several java files with "?????".
The src dist also contains the ".classpath" and ".project" files which
we should exclude (but this is not a show stopper).
So I think after fixing the java headers, the release looks good.
Thanks
Carsten

Hi,
The RAT report needs to be cleaned up by putting AL headers into the
files, as Carsten points out. If there is some technical reason why
the files cannot have an AL header, please discuss on-list.
Thanks,
Craig
