Hi,

I am currently preparing the release 1.4.1 of the jackrabbit-jcr-commons library.

Thanks, looks good!

I committed the JCR-1331 fix and merged it to the 1.4 branch, hoping you'd include it in this release.

Issue JCR-1350 is being disputed indirectly by me proposing to add JCR-1343 to the jackrabbit-jcr-rmi 1.4.1 release: If we do not add JCR-1343 to the jackrabbit-jcr-rmi 1.4.1 release, JCR-1350 will not be added to the jackrabbit-jcr-commons 1.4.1 release.

Looks like we're in a transitional phase with our release process, so I'd rather be pragmatic and relax the release policies to give Sling what it needs instead of holding things up until we come up with a more solid component-based release process. Thus, +1 for JCR-1350 in this release.

In fact considering, that we might also do more granular releases from the trunk, I think JCR-1350 need not be included here for the moment.

Agreed, I'm beginning to think that we should go for a fully component-based release process starting with 1.5. But that would require some restructuring in trunk, so I prefer to relax the rules temporarily for the 1.4 branch so we don't stop progress for downstream clients like Sling before we're ready to go granular in the trunk.

BR,
