The integration testing has completed successfully, and pending some minor updates I think that we are ready for the 0.5.0 release of Brooklyn. I have build and deployed a new release candidate, version 0.5.0-rc.2, which contains all the bug-fixes and changes that are going to be in the final release.
Barring any show-stopper issues, the code is now frozen and no more code pull requests will be accepted for the 0.5 branch.
The documentation has been updated to reflect the latest changes, and @jdtoy has put in some excellent work getting this into shape. There are still some small changes to be pushed for the final 0.5.0 documentation, but this will not affect release testing of the code.
The following pull requests need reviewed:
Also, the brooklyncentral/brooklyn-examples has not been updated yet. Once the final release is cut, the examples repository projects will have their dependencies changed to point to the 0.5.0 version.
The 0.5.0-rc.2 artifacts are available now on Maven Central for testing. We need to smoke-test this code by running the examples from the main brooklyncentral/brooklyn repository. The distribution archive to install for this is available here:
Please respond on-list to let people know which examples you would like to test, and also with the results of any testing you do, particularly if there are any critical issues.
Hopefully we will be able to promote this release candidate to GA after the weekend, and get started on some of the exciting new 0.6.0 features!
