Re: [jts-dev] JTS 1.20.0 release train

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay reading the "eclipse foundation development process" the review is more about announcing to the public.

A Release Review is a type of Progress Review that is aligned directly with a specific Release. A Release Review must be concluded successfully before the corresponding Release is announced to the community.

Proceeding:

4. Here is the thing: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/locationtech.jts/releases/1.20.0
   
• Email locationtech-pmc list email thread, still seeking +1 response.
• EMO has gotten the request and opened up https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo/-/issues/794 
5. Release is scheduled for Wednesday, September 4, 2024 - 12:00

Release steps:

• BLOCKED: Martin is considering an optional system property to enable RelateNG for Geometry (prepared geometry is for another time).
  
• https://locationtech.github.io/jts/ is updated with 2.20.0 javadocs
  
• Added link to jts blog posts under resources
• Website: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/locationtech.jts
• Fixed link to https://ci.eclipse.org/jts/
• double checked we had a build going for master branch
• switched from oracle-8-latest to termium-8-latest
• JTS_deploy_snapshots is working fine ...

I have been reading with interest some of the development updates from Martin, and talking with him on and off this summer about making a new release.

The project is work on have a September / March release cycle ... with that in mind I would like to start a JTS 1.20.0 release!

Following release process:

1. Milestone: 1.20.0 
   
2. Apply to milestone issues and PRs
• 3 closed issues  (moved from "future" milestone")
  
• 24 Gathering issues closed since 2022/6/21 ... (skipping type-question)
• 0 Gathering PRs moved from "future" - PRs not tagged with a milestone
• 68 Gathering PRs closed + merged since 2022/6/21 ...
3. The last update to https://github.com/locationtech/jts/blob/master/doc/JTS_Version_History.md is from July (so this is up to date other than a 1.2.0 heading
   
• The eclipse release process takes a couple weeks so I am choosing a date in the future: 09/20/2024
• https://github.com/locationtech/jts/pull/1070
  
4. Start an eclipse release process
• Here is the thing: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/locationtech.jts/releases/1.20.0
• I note that eclipse has lightened up its release process since I last did one...
  The key change is that a team has made a release within the last year you are trusted to do it again without such a review.
• Used text from version history PR above...
• Grabbed some notes from "Key Features of RelateNG" to highlight in release plan
• In eclipse terms this is a minor release as there is no breakage that I know of; only addition of new features eh?
• Emailed locationtech-pmc:  
• I need to wait for a +1 response before emailing emo@xxxxxxxxxxx
• Emo will then open a bug ticket
