Another beta?

[Nick Burch <ap...@gagravarr.org>]

Hi All

We're about 2 months now since our last beta, and based on a few recent 
posts on bugzilla + lists, we've done some fixes that people are 
interested in. However, the great work on a common HSLF/XLSF stuff isn't 
yet in trunk, so probably we don't want to do 3.12 final until that is

What do people think about us doing a new beta, 3.12 beta 2, fairly soon? 
Worth doing now, or worth waiting for a specific bug/feature first?

Andreas - are you happy to be release manager once more, as/when everyone 
thinks we're ready?

Thanks
Nick

Mmpf ... I've just started with setting up the RC.
I think, the inclusion is not really an issue ... they just need to use the ooxml-schemas.jar.
If the NPE fix is not a no-brainer I'd like to ask you to postpone it to the next beta.

I'm reverting now the tag / doc-pinning and waiting for your ok to continue ...

FYI, for Apache Tika, using the full ooxml-schemas jar isn't an option 
given the size. The smaller poi-ooxml-schemas jar building was a feature 
initially developed to support Tika!

While working on TIKA-1315, I found a source for an NPE in XWPFParagraph, and I'd also like to add some tests that will force inclusion of some of the lower-level ooxml classes for paragraph numbering.

I'll open an issue on POI's Bugzilla and make the commits tonight (within next 6 hours).

Hi,

I'm fine with a RC soon, no urgent bugfixes as far as I see...

It looks like most of the recent changes and bugzilla updates have been done.
I'd like to create the RC files - when you (Nick/Dominik) send me your ok, I'll start.

Off-topic: of course I had a watch on #57552, but while fixing the new hslf text handling, which
still sometimes produces malformed .ppt, I don't like to halfheartedly introduce a new api in a rush.
And adding the proposed patch makes objective sense, but knowing that most of it will be thrown
away when the new api is in place, is kind a unsatisfactory. Thank you Nick for patching it.

OK, doing a final shortly then merging in the SL stuff works fine for me 
too!

(I also want to make NPOIFS the default in the next release, so having a 
final shortly works well for that)

If you're going to be the RM, it's up to you to decide when to start the 
release process. Let us know when you'll begin creating the Release 
Candidate files, so we'll all know when to get any last minute fixes in 
for :)

Hi,

I would also opt for a final release fairly quickly instead of more
betas as I don't see big regressions being reported in 3.12beta1
compared to 3.11 and we have already quite a list of bugfixes included
which makes a nice "stabilization release".

After that we are in good shape to quickly apply more bugfixes and do
some of the larger HSLF/XSLF stuff in our own time. I also have one or
two smaller things prepared which could affect interfaces and thus are
better discussed and done after a release.

Dominik.

I had a few patches to the PPTX support (some posted to Bugzilla, some still waiting at home) that would be nice to get integrated sometime.
Since I don't think anyone has actually looked at them yet, it'd probably be a difficult case for the next beta, but it certainly would be great to get them in the next one at least.

Actually, there are a lots of changes in HSLF and I would prefer to have a
stable version
with all the current fixes out, before I start pushing in my stuff.
Currently I'm fixing the HSLF tests or my implementation for it, but there's
still a lot todo.
And of course if the tests run through, I'd like your feedback about the API
breaks,
before I commit it to the trunk.

I wouldn't mind if we have a final soon.

I think it worked out ok last time and with your detailed guideline it's a
straight forward task.
So I'm fine with playing release manager.

Best wishes,
Andi
