Subject	[dsdp-tm-dev] Request to postpone RSE 1.0 by 1 more week -        Committers please vote

Hello,

I would like to postpone RSE 1.0 by one more week for
the following reasons:

* Testing uncovered some major bugs only recently,
  so we still have 3 major bugs open. Even if they
  could be fixed today, I'm uncomfortable with 
  releasing them without additional re-testing.

* EMO Legal still has not approved our about files.
  I have confirmation from them that approval should
  come today, but I can't wait until late night 
  with building our release.

* I got the ability to create signed jar files only
  recently; waiting another week will allow me to
  set up the build processes such that we can provide
  a secure, jar-signed RSE 1.0 release

* Waiting for 1 more week gives us the chance to 
  - test against Eclipse 3.3M3 (which some people 
    may use)
  - fix some additional non-critical but annoying
    bugs
  - think again about some API changes that we
    already have patches for

If committers disagree with postponing, I'd be
creating a 1.0 release instead of RC4 late today.

If committers agree with postponing, the plan for
next week would be as follows:

* Instead of 1.0, release RSE 1.0RC4 today
* Next week, perform an automatic I-build every 
  night at 6am Ottawa time for testing and verification
* Make sure that ALL CRITICAL BUG FIXES ARE IN by 
  wednesday evening; keep time for documentation
  changes only on thursday and friday
* Release RSE 1.0 on friday.

Committers please vote:
