Todo List for Releases

Things to be aware of

• VFS is a multi-module project, sandbox is even optional (profile)
• the maven-release-plugin does not work very well with the current release strategy of Apache Commons (Tag after vote)
• tag conventions in the 2.0 release have a bit messed up the repo. The 2.0 release is named (VFS-1.0 vs. commons-vfs2-project-2.0)
• JIRA report does not include more than 100 fixes and changes-plugin cant page (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-351). As INFRA cant raise the limit. The report is not prominent, so we will create it incomplete.
  

After Release

• Mark Version as released, clsoe all resolved Bugs in Version. Change Fix Version for unresolved bugsclose all 2.1 bugs (resolved->closed)
• open next snapshot
