Re: [VOTE] Apache Cayenne 5.0 Milestone 2 Release

I am +1. I added MCP checks to my previous checklist (and they pass). =
Haven't tested Modeler on Windows.

Noticed the Mac .dmg doesn't have the background image and our custom =
layout. The contents of the .dmg are correct though, so this is not a =
blocker either. (I've seen my own builds losing the layout on rare =
occasions; never got to the bottom of it though).

One of the unit tests was missing the Apache header (my fault, I fixed =
that already on the "past-M2" branch). I don't think this disqualifies =
the release. This is an internal unit test, and is not expected to be =
referenced or embedded by the end users in their code. Also the new .md =
files don't have Apache headers, which I think is totally ok.=20

Anyone has a different opinion on this?
