JBoss 3.2.5 Changes

[fbiaggi]

Hi,
is there a list of changes between 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 ?

Thanks,
Franco.

I would also like to know, considering the fact that 3.2.5 was released without RC before it, and that it followed the 3.2.4 so fast.
Does 3.2.5 fix any special high priority issue of 3.2.4 ????????

The following article may be relevant here:

http://www.crn.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=22102106

It seems likely that JBoss intend to announce J2EE certification at JavaOne, which would imply that the 3.2.5 release is intended to back it.

So given...

The lack of Release Candidates
The lack of release notes
The timing of the release

...I would guess that it is a 'Politicial Release' that may have had limited testing. The above article talks about some major changes (such as CORBA security) to achieve certification, and in that light my team have decided to avoid this release until more information becomes available.

(Disclaimer: I may be completely wrong here - I'm just drawing conclusions from circumstantial evidence!)

3.2.5 mainly fixes a single bug relative to clustering (but which blocks many users), which is why there is not RCx

As for J2EE certification, we are certifying the 4.0 Branch (J2EE 1.4), not the 3.2.x (which is an implementation of J2EE 1.3), so 3.2.5 is here to back nothing (except a clustering issue).

Thanks for that. Clearly I was putting 2+2 and getting 5!

Sacha,

was that clustering bug new in 3.2.4 or was it also presen in the 3.2.3 release?

Thanks,

This specific problem was only in 3.2.4.

Is it possible to include this information in the relase notes on SF?

Concerning clustering in 3.2.5 this message is interesting, too:
