[jdom-interest] JDOM 1.x release schedule

[Rolf Lear]

Hi all.

I believe 1.1.2 is a more reliable version of JDOM than 1.1.1. 
Unfortunately there is already one known new issue 1.1.2 related to 
people using the SAXOutputter (which is used in XML Transformations).

This issue will be resolved in 1.1.3.

Until 1.1.3 is released though there is a 'hotfix' for this issue here:
https://github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/downloads
Download the jdom-1.1.2.hf1.zip file. The direct link is:
https://github.com/downloads/hunterhacker/jdom/jdom-1.1.2.hf1.zip

This zip file is in the same format that you would normally download 
from www.jdom.org.

If any other issues come up with 1.1.2 they will be fixed and released 
as a second hotfix package.

All issues found and fixed before 1 March 2012 will be accumulated and 
released as a 1.1.3 on that date.

If you are currently running with 1.1.2 please continue to do so. If you 
run in to any issues please report them here on this list, check the 
open and recently fixed issues on github of issues found in 1.1.2: 
https://github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/issues?labels=found+in+1.1.2

Despite recent evidence to the contrary, I do believe that 1.1.2 is more 
stable than 1.1.1.

If you have an issue in 1.1.2 and it has been resolved in the issues 
list above, then please use the most recent 1.1.2 hotfix Jar from the 
downloads page.

Thanks.

Rolf
