| RE: [higgins-dev] Can the JNDI context provider use Rhino1.6.1 or 1.6.2 rather than 1.6.5? |

Mary are you asking that we temporary state we can use 1.6R1 or 1.6R2 until legal catches up or are you asking us to move back to these crusty versions and remove 1.6R5 from the eclipse legal queue so we can reduce their workload? In general with all of the updates we have been discussing I hope we aren't accepting the old versions of dependancies and then removing the newer versions from ipzilla. During testing months ago the scripts we were using didn't work with 1.6R2 of Rhino, and made it much more difficult for deployers because _javascript_ stacks and errors were not fully reported.
Rhino 1.6R2 | is old, dating from 2005-09-19 and missing the following bug fixes to get to 1.6R3. 1.6R4 was a single bug fix , and 1.6R5 was updating the code to the mozilla tri-license. As of the end of July Rhino download links have changed and 1.6.5 is now considered old and must be accessed from the download archives with 1.6R6 being the new preferred supported version.
| It won't be long before we may want to use 1.6R6, it has better _javascript_ 1.5 language support, fixes so we can call back into java var arg functions (audit and logging), better warning and error messages to simplify debugging, fewer external dependancies, and numerous bug fixes. If this is a multi year process to get approved then I may want to start it now anticipating that I might use it.

When Eclipse wrote 1.6.2 they meant 1.6R2 (CQ 78 for approval of 1.6.2 references the 1.6R2 code.) Let me know if 1.6R2 (or 1.6R1)works. -Mary -----Original Message----- From: higgins-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:higgins-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Doman Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:21 AM To: 'Higgins (Trust Framework) Project developer discussions' Subject: Re: [higgins-dev] Can the JNDI context provider use Rhino1.6.1 or 1.6.2 rather than 1.6.5? Mary, I still have the same "." vs. "R" question I outlined here in June: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/higgins-dev/msg02703.html. Are they interchangeable? ie. 1.6R5 == 1.6.5. As I described before, the download site (http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html) uses "R". Thanks, Tom >>> "Mary Ruddy" <mary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 7/24/2007 9:49 AM >>> Tom, Because of the backlog of code that needs to be reviewed for Higgins by Eclipse legal, we need to maximize reuse (use versions that have already been approved). Rhino 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 have already been approved. Please verify that one of these works for you or that you could make it work. _______________________________________________ higgins-dev mailing list higgins-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/higgins-dev _______________________________________________ higgins-dev mailing list higgins-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/higgins-dev |
