[beanutils][digester] about time for a release?

isn't it about time for new releases for beanutils and digester?

what needs doing and does anyone want to volunteer to act as release 
manager?

Since I am just replying to this, I am for the release but do not have the bandwidth to do the RM, or to fix the methodUtils caching thing.  Anyone who wants to should go for the release.

Yes please.  There is no point of hiding getMatchingAccessibleMethod()
while invokeMethod() is public.

so I am all +1.

Cheers,

good work :)

i still can't run the unit tests for beanutils due to that java 1.3 
problem deserializing primative type classes so i can't do much checking 
myself but if you've happy, i'm happy.

there is one more matter that i think should be considered. we've had 
several requests to make MethodUtils.getMatchingAccessibleMethod(). you 
know my opinions on the current MethodUtils API but i don't really think 
that adding this method will make things worse than they are already. 
should this be made public?

OK, I've finished my changes to these packages, and am satisfied that they
are ready for a release.  The only outstanding Bugzilla report that is not
an enhancement request is 12997, and I just need to finish up a test case
that emulates the behavior of many existing Digester customers (and
illustrates why the proposed change would not be backwards compatible).
That's not something that needs to hold up releasing these two.

(you fixed this one)

i can't see a reason not to make this change. can you enlighten me?

i had a look at this before and couldn't work out a good way to do this.

no opinion

i'm -0 but scott has always been very keen. i no longer have any strong 
objections if someone wants to commit it.

i think that this needs to be left until the next release. it would open 
up a lot of exciting possibilities but i think we owe people a bug fix 
release first.

I went through last weekend and snuffed most of the bugs against these.  I
think we need to decide what to do about:

15067 [BeanUtils] BasicDynaBean, BasicDynaClass not Serializable
15170 [BeanUtils] BeanUtils.setProperty doesn't convert primitive wrappers

before finalizing a release plan.  In addition, there's some outstanding
enhancement requests:

 7135 [BeanUtils] Misleading error message ...
 7226 [BeanUtils] Nested bean collection
13098 [Digester] Digester performance
14848 [BeanUtils] ConvertUtils is not (thread)safe -- actually an
      issue of the static collections, not thread safety

and one change I don't think should be implemented, but I owe the reporter
a test case to prove that it would break many current Digester users:

12997 [Digester] Call the method as soon as the last parameter is
      encountered
