My personal itch list is getting very short, and includes the following items:
@since tag checkup https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-469 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-481 Fix 4 testcases that fail (only) in site generation due to xml parser issues. My ambition is to fix these things during the next 2-3 days and start a release sometime in the weekend. The 5 other unsolved issues currently assigned to 2.5 will be moved to unscheduled. I encourage anyone wanting to iterate issues or generally assess the state of the release to plan some time to do so within the next days. As usual, reality bites and will probably smash my estimated time scale to bits. Kristian
