Hi,

testing of 4.5.0.Beta1 is finished. All found bugs are reported, some are already scheduler for Beta2.

There are no blockers so we are fine to release Beta1. Let me know as soon as you promote the build from staging repository and copy distribution to download server.

BTW, do we have a release RFPL Jira for Beta1?

Regards,

Pavol

Nice work guys.

Looks like we didn't create the release RFPL prior to releasing.  I've created it now: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RFPL-3440.

I've prepared the release announcement, but I'll wait on promoting out of staging, and announcing the release until I check in with Michal on his return from PTO on Monday to make sure there are no loose-ends for this release.

Cheers,

Brian
