[wtp-dev] 1.5 Release Candidate One Declared: 1.5RC1a Fri, 21 Apr 2

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is our first declared release candidate
towards WTP 1..5. 

1.5RC1a
  Fri, 21 Apr 2006 -- 07:53 (UTC) 

Are we are pretty sure we'll need more release candidates
before the final release 
[that's a joke .. about the newspeak meaning of "release
candidate" :) 

This build does have some known issues, but teams have
reported 
"go" on all mainstream function. 

AWOL Teams: RDB, Server .... I'm sure 'server' is good,
since other teams test that, 
but rumor has it the whole RDB team (all two of them?
) are on vacation, so as far as I know, 
know one as sanity tested that. [apologies we didn't anticipate
this better, but, I dont' think 
much has changed in their component, if anything]. 

The J2EE team is investigating the 11 Failed JUnit tests
.. and that may be related 
to this build not have "external jar support"
for web apps.
