I'll probably need an extra day to get all done.

I am still not up to date with the latest changes and open issues, I hope to catch up today or Monday.

I still see big issues we need to tackle in the are of the Signavio Modeler (BPMN 2.0 format, SVG API, Encoding problems, …), but maybe most of it is already fixed. I will try to create ACT Issues for it to track it. But all of it would be vital to be included in the GA in my opinion. And we have to adjust the cycle remedies for the "old" BPMN format of Signavio to the latest stuff. And if everything works, we have to release a new jar for the signavo core components as well. Not sure if we make all of that till tuesday!

For Cycle itself we have some issues open, but since we tag it as "beta" (by a button on the logo now by the way), we can more easily postpone them to the next release. I try to come up with a plan for that till monday.

Cheers
Bernd

Okay, here for me as documentation what needs to be done on the Modeler side:

- Todo http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-367: Release a new Maven version of the Signavio core components and upload them to the alfresco repository
- Signavio http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-366: Problems with Umlauts in Modeler
- Signavio http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-365: The BPMN 2.0 DI is still the early draft, not the spec version
- Check http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-335: Move modeler patching from demo setup to a dedicated build
- Check http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-290: SVG API should not peform access to Signavio Academic Version in the Internet
- Todo http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-368: Modeler gets patched multiple times
- Check http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-369: Modeler requires Java 6 to run
- Signavio http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-370: Signavio Core Components partially obfuscated?
- Check http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-363: Bug with relative paths in Modler Backend
- Signavio http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-371: Latest SVG API doesn't work with Activiti Modeler examples

I hope I found everything again….

P.S: I changed the list according to a new issue

also in light of the potential refactoring of the configuration parsing ( http://forums.activiti.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=497 ), we'll delay the code freeze with 2 days and put it on thursday evening november 25. This means that I plan to create the release branch on friday morning. This code freeze will be for all involved parties (including us!).

Focus now is turning towards documentation. I propose that everyone works on a single chapter at a time to allow for as much concurrency as possible. And that we use irc to let others know on which chapter we're working. That should minimize the merging efforts.

Hi Tom.
As written via Email, I will not have time for docs before saturday. So would merge that into the GA branch then, I hope that's still in time (but time after code freeze is for QA and docs, right?

Hello Team,

I am still evaluating activiti, trying most of the bundled examples and playing around with it. I am sure you all are having a terrific time developing activiti, I really like this forum and thank you all for all the quick replies.

I am sure many people like me are waiting for the release and I just wanted to wish you all good luck and celebrate the upcoming release.

Thank you all and have a great time!

@Bernd: Docs is not a problem. But after today: let us know in this topic what you're going to do, which files are involved and notify us when you're done.

I could offer to do another aspell run on the documentation to fix any typos left after your reviews.

If want to run it on your own, this is the command I am using:
aspell –mode=html –add-html-skip=programlisting –add-html-skip=literal –dont-backup check ch13-Cycle.xml

postponing the code freeze with another day (till saturday evening) as the build scripts are not completely finished and because Hudson http://178.77.67.242:8080/ is not totally green yet.

@Cycle Team: Please don't feel tempted to commit stuff even with that extra day. I will do all the testing tomorrow, so please commit only Bug fixes and let me know what you have done (done by a proper commit message :-)). Thanks!

Re: Code freeze coming up

tombaeyens — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:39:16 GMT

created release branch https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/tags/activiti-5.0

Re: Code freeze coming up

tombaeyens — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 10:51:00 GMT

All commits on https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/tags/activiti-5.0 MUST have a Jira issue associated.
And permission to commit on that tag has to be asked upfront.

So when you want to change something on that branch/tag, the procedure is create a Jira, describe as clear (and brief) as possible what exactly you want to change. Then send it to me (tom) and wait for my go ahead before committing.

Thanks.
