Description Misha H. Ali 2013-11-28 10:28:02 UTC
For some reason, some issues regarding missing methods in the SWIG/JNI wrapper have made their way into the release notes.

These methods are only useful for QE testing and they are not part of the product and should not be documented.

Comment 1 Misha H. Ali 2013-11-28 10:29:19 UTC
I'll investigate this tomorrow and try to isolate the ones we need to take out.

Adding Gemma as a cc in case I can't finish this before leaving for the year, in which case Gemma can continue this when developing release note bugs.

Comment 3 Misha H. Ali 2013-11-29 06:32:08 UTC
Hi Martin,

Since the bugs we want to exclude were testing bugs for the most part, is there any way we can easily identify them? Perhaps a specific component or flag?

Comment 4 Martin Gencur 2013-11-29 08:23:09 UTC
Hi Misha,
you're probably talking about these three:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023031
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023032
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023033

Easy identification - they all start with "Missing methods" and they're all for Cpp client component.

I proposed them for release notes because I really thought the methods were missing from the Cpp client itself, as their descriptions suggest.

This would need some further clarification from Alan and Tristan because I think some of the methods were really missing from the Cpp client and not only from SWIG/JNI code (getBulk(), getVersion(), getProtocolVersion() and getName())

Comment 5 Misha H. Ali 2013-12-01 01:15:00 UTC
Thanks, Martin.

Sent email to Tristan and Alan to confirm or add to this list of bugs.

Comment 6 Tristan Tarrant 2013-12-02 09:25:34 UTC
Confirmed for my part

Comment 7 Misha H. Ali 2013-12-02 09:31:55 UTC
Thanks Tristan. I've removed the release notes flag from these three bugs.

Comment 8 Misha H. Ali 2013-12-02 12:47:38 UTC
Gemma, I've removed the bugs. To close this bug just ensure that the first draft of the release notes closer to GA does not have these three bugs anymore.

Comment 9 Alan Field 2013-12-02 16:23:35 UTC
These JIRAs and BZs were created at the time of the JDG beta, and reflect the state of the C++ client API. These APIs were missing from the Beta release of the C++ client, and I believe that this fact should have been included in the Beta release notes. For GA, the documentation for the C++ client should describe any API differences between the Java and C++ implementations.

Comment 10 Martin Gencur 2013-12-02 16:26:28 UTC
Just to be sure: is this issue about excluding the bugs from release notes for JDG 6.2 Beta or from release notes for JDG 6.2.GA? Thanks

Comment 12 Misha H. Ali 2014-01-08 06:07:45 UTC
IIRC, the bugs to be removed were already untagged before I left. When Martin's team concludes their final check of the RN bugs, we'll set this to VERIFIED, but it should already be fixed.

Comment 13 Misha H. Ali 2014-01-16 00:02:21 UTC
The fix for this bug is now generally released and available here:
