Hi devs, Since last week was light on development (due to various holidays) and today we are already past the release date for 4.3M2, after talking with Vincent, we propose to postpone the 4.3 releases by a couple of days, as follows:

The main reason are: * the solr code was merged just this morning and we need some time to test it * Marius is still finishing code for AWM * The localization module has been committed not long ago too * a lot of functional tests are failing ATM * there's new errors that happen in the store: https://gist.github.com/4024318 * Andreas would like to merge some security work he's been working on but I don't know if the new dates proposed below are enough to merge this now or not. I have been away for 10 days and haven't caught up yet so I cannot make a good judgement on whether we should wait for 4.4M1 for this work to be merged in or not. The safe part in me says we should but I don't have any other argument… If you've been following the work please contribute to this thread!

...

Current dates: 4.3M2: 5 Nov 4.3RC1: 12 Nov 4.3final: 19 Nov Proposed postpone dates: 4.3M2: 9 nov 4.3RC1: 14 nov 4.3final: 21 nov Here's my +1 and I will be Release Manager for 4.3M2.

+1 We need all devs to work on stabilizing our build/functional tests. Thanks -Vincent

...

We are still looking for Release Managers for the next releases, so please feel free to propose your selves Thanks, Eduard

I was able to verify yesterday that there were race conditions causing these exceptions: XWIKI-8415, XWIKI-8416. Note that this particular exception in DefaultWikiComponentBuilderEventListener should not have affected the results of the tests in any way, as the exception was both expected and harmless if the application started event was received twice.

FTR (I already discussed with Andreas on IRC about it) there are now some warnings appearing in the console when you start XE: 2012-11-07 16:50:05,571 [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/] WARN o.h.t.TypeFactory - Scoping types to session factory org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl@45ae90c9 after already scoped org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl@47a39fdc 2012-11-07 16:50:36,674 [Lucene Index Updater] WARN o.h.t.TypeFactory - Scoping types to session factory org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl@47a39fdc after already scoped org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl@427e0877 IMO we need to understand what's happening and remove them. Ideally before Friday so that we don't have them in 4.3M2. At worse, before 4.2 final. Thanks -Vincent

Let me get back to you regarding the status of this.

I can do some. I just need to plan in advance so I know when and make room for it

Cool jerome! :) Would you be able to do the RC1 release the 14th of November for example? Note that this means being on IRC a few days before (I'd say 2 days before and push devs to have a working build and make sure they don't commit last moment stuff and even worse, dangerous stuff ;) … so that on the D-Day you can perform the release). Thanks -Vincent

Yes that would work for me. You can count me in.

Yeah! :) Thanks -Vincent
