All,
The next in our series of 1.7.0 prereleases is now posted for testing
and signing: 1.7.0-alpha3. These are cut from trunk, and the magic
rev is r1143483. The buildbots were green at that rev, and all tests
pass for me locally[1]. You can find them here:
http://people.apache.org/~hwright/svn/1.7.0-alpha3/
The number of known issues since the first couple of alpha releases
has decreased, and the purpose of this release continues to be to give
distributors and downstream consumers a concrete milestone against
which to test, as well as vet our release processes on ASF
infrastructure. As you may expect, these prereleases are intended for
intrepid users and testers only. The new release scripts appear to be
behaving themselves, though any reports to the contrary would be of
great interest.
I hope to get signatures from folks by the end of Friday, July 8, and
then do the public announcement. Historically, we've not required a
full set of signatures for alphas and betas, but it would be nice to
get at least some coverage besides just my own. As you send in your
signature announcement, please note any issues you found with this
release (these will be included in the public announcement).
Please send sigs here:

Thanks,

[1] I did have trouble with the perl bindings, but I think that it's a
local issue, since all of the tests failed. Confirmation one way or
the other would be nice.
