10.2 release delay

Today I was prepared to download the 10.2 final release just to see that 
it has been delayed to October 11 
(http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoRelease?action=diff&rev2=42&rev1=39). 


I think that it would have been nicer if the developers deciding the 
delay would have posted in time about this here and not just change the 
wiki 3 working days before the supposed release...

Regards,
Robert

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the update on the release status. We all are looking forward 
to the release candidate and keep up the great work!

Hi Robert,

I updated the wiki a few days ago because I noticed that the original 
dates were clearly stale--we had already slipped by a couple weeks. I 
pushed the projected dates out long enough to allow for a couple release 
candidates in case our first attempt flops. Discussion about release 
plans has largely happened on the developer list. I apologize for not 
alerting everyone when I updated the wiki page.

The schedule has slipped for the following reasons:

1) It was an aggressive schedule to begin with. After a year's worth of 
10.2 development, we had introduced some serious regressions which only 
surfaced during beta testing. In addition, some of the feature work 
needed more polishing.

2) It took a long time to resolve the licensing issue related to the use 
of beta software to build our JDBC4 support.

For the record, I'm cautiously hopeful that we will post a release 
candidate this week.

Regards,
-Rick

And what exactly is the reason of the delay? Are you planning to 
introduce new features or fix more bugs?

Regards,
Robert
