We have fixed quite a few bugs and added some significant enhancements since DbUtils 1.5 was released in 2012, so I would like to release DbUtils 1.6 based on RC2.
Note on RC1: From the archives it looks like the RM for RC1 only gave it one try and then stopped working on the release. Note on the side build: as for other components, the side can not be build with Java 8. Note on the checkstyle report: Checkstyle reports a lot of violation, but they are all about the JavaDoc and will be fixed when we make the site build with Java 8. DbUtils 1.6 RC2 is available for review here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/dbutils/ (svn rev. 5880) Maven artifacts are here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1041 Details of changes since 1.1 are in the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/dbutils/RELEASE-NOTES.txt http://people.apache.org/~britter/dbutils-1.6-RC2/changes-report.html The tag is here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/dbutils/tags/DBUTILS_1_6_RC2/ (svn rev. 1611146) N.B. the SVN revision is required because SVN tags are not immutable. Site: http://people.apache.org/~britter/dbutils-1.6-RC2/ (note some *relative* links are broken and the 1.6 directories are not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed) Clirr Report (compared to 1.5): http://people.apache.org/~britter/dbutils-1.6-RC2/clirr-report.html RAT Report: http://people.apache.org/~britter/dbutils-1.6-RC2/rat-report.html KEYS: http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS Please review the release candidate and vote.
