We have fixed a few bugs and added enhancements since the release of Apache Commons JEXL 3.5.0, so I would like to release Apache Commons JEXL 3.6.0.

JApiCmp Report (compared to 3.5.0): https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/jexl/3.6.0-RC1/site/japicmp.html There is one oddity reported by JApiCmp where it thinks moving a method to a super-interface is not compatible: In the previous version 3.5.0, the interface JexlContext.ClassNameResolver doesn't extend anything and implements resolveClassName(String) Now, the interface JexlContext.ClassNameResolver extends JexlUberspect.ClassNameResolver, which implements that method.

Thank you, Gary Gregory, Release Manager (using key 530AA5F25C25011F) The following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers. Validating a release candidate ============================== These guidelines are NOT complete. Requirements: Git, Java, and Maven. You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows. 1a) Download and decompress the source archive from: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/jexl/3.6.0-RC1/source 1b) Check out the RC tag from git (optional) This is optional, as a reviewer must check source distributions as a minimum. git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-jexl.git --branch commons-jexl-3.6.0-RC1 commons-jexl-3.6.0-RC1 cd commons-jexl-3.6.0-RC1 2) Checking the build All components should include a default Maven goal, such that you can run 'mvn' from the command line by itself. 2) Check Apache licenses This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page which you then must check. This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can check it with: mvn apache-rat:check 3) Check binary compatibility This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page which you then must check. This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can check it with: mvn verify -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp 4) Build the package This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can check it with: mvn -V clean package You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply. To gather OS information from a command line: Windows: ver Linux: uname -a 4b) Check reproducibility To check that a build is reproducible, run: mvn clean verify artifact:compare -DskipTests -Dreference.repo=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/ '-Dbuildinfo.ignore=*/*.spdx.json' Note that this excludes SPDX files from the check. 5) Build the site for a single module project Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged. mvn site Check the site reports in: - Windows: target\site\index.html - Linux: target/site/index.html -the end- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
