Progress on JUnit issues...

All,

Over the last week or so, I've triaged almost 200 JUnit issues that
have accumulated over the last year, closing about 80 truly invalid
issues that were fixed, duplicates, or no longer made sense. I tagged
the rest with:
- regression bugs (9): there was an implementation of the feature that
worked prior to the 4.9 beta (although potentially earlier than
4.8.x))
- nonregression bugs (15): it is likely the feature has always failed
in the documented way.
- features (~95): additions to the (implicit) spec, with
implementations to provide the additions.

Thanks to everyone who has been submitting problems, proposals, and
patches.  I'm sorry that some of you have been waiting so long for a
response.

The next part of the development plan, in order:

- Fix the regression bugs
- Release a 4.9 beta 3
- Hopefully 4.9b3 can become the final release.  (I am not planning
any nonregression bug fixes or new features to get into the 4.9
release.  We need to steer this ship back toward frequent releases.)
- Create a github project for junit.contrib.
- Go through the backlog of pull requests, to see which can be
accepted as is, and which either need changes, or should be redirected
into junit.contrib.
- Work through non-regression bugs for further releases in the 4.9.x series
- Choose a number of highly-rated feature requests to be the scope for
4.10, and begin (patch acceptance / implementation)

I'm excited to see this project keep moving forward,

   David Saff
