[jboss-dev] Sep/14th cutoff date for component updates in AS5 Beta3

[Dimitris Andreadis]

After Sep/14th and until Beta3 is out we'll only be updating libs in order to fix bugs.

Take a look at the following JIRA to make sure your work on a particular library is properly 
recorded/linked:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4562

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, for the next AS5 CRx release make sure any library updates are recorded here:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4647
(e.g. discussions about jbroups 2.6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The current Beta3 status is summarized below:

- MC 2.0.0.Beta4 and dependencies have been resolved/tagged.

- Snapshots that need to be replaced with tagged releases.

What's currently left:
<componentref name="jboss/jboss-ejb3-cache" version="0.11-SNAPSHOT"/>
<componentref name="jboss/jboss-jaspi-api" version="1.0-SNAPSHOT"/>
<componentref name="jboss/jboss-security-spi" version="2.0.1-SNAPSHOT"/>
<componentref name="jboss/jbosssx" version="2.0.1-SNAPSHOT"/>
<componentref name="jboss/jbosssx-client" version="2.0.1-SNAPSHOT"/>

- Waiting for AOP 2.0.0.beta + Javassist 3.6.0.CR2

- JBoss Transactions
(now at 4.2.3.SP5) to be updated to a 4.3.x version that implements JTA 1.1

- JBoss Messaging
waiting for the final 1.4.0.GA release

- JGroups. It's still questionable at this point if we can move to v2.5 (from 2.4.1.SP3) due 
to the JBoss Messaging dependency

- Hibernate Validator
We'll be probably adding this, as it is now an independent package.

If you have any comments/concerns let me know.

Cheers
