Major Discussions and Issues

Javelin Merged

The Javelin branch has been merged into master by Kelven Yang. Kelven has noted that developers should increase the amount of memory available to the JVM if running the management server under Maven:

For linux/Mac users

MAVEN_OPTS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx2g"
export MAVEN_OPTS

For Windows users

Add similar settings to windows environment settings (via Windows control panel)

4.1 Branch Created

Following the Javelin merge, Chip Childers has created the 4.1 branch, and has asked committers "to respect the feature and improvement freeze in that branch. Bug fixes, doc updates and other release stabilization activities are obviously expected." Chip also says that committers should continue committing directly to the 4.1 branch until code freeze. (Code freeze, excepting fixes for blocker bugs and so forth, is on February 28th.)

If you're a non-committer and wish to send in a patch against 4.1.0, send in a patch built against the 4.1 branch. Chip says:

Committers taking these fixes should also consider applying them to master. If there are conflicts in master (which may happen, as there were a
couple of code-base refactoring activities, like switching packages from com.cloud to org.apache.cloudstack), apply the fix into 4.1 anyway, and inform the submitter that the patch has conflicts with master to get that sorted out (or you can fix it yourself).

Preparing for Translation

With the feature freeze in place, it's time to get docs into shape and start getting things ready for translations. Sebastien Goasguen has created a new /pot directory with the .pot (portable object templates).

Sebastien notes that contributors need to remember the 50-character limit for XML filenames, as Transifex doesn't support longer file names. Contributors will also need to run publican update_pot when updating doc files and/or creating new files.
