Re: [X10-core] plan for a X10 2.6.2 release

Hi Krishna,

	The path forward would be to submit one or more pull requests to the
github project with the changes.  That will allow them to be reviewed and
hopefully merged. If we can get them merged in, then we could make a
subsequent release.

regards,

Hi Dave,

One of the issues we had found with X10 with distributed environment was
with multiple places - in this regard our recent paper in PACT 2018 (see
below) makes a big difference wherein we only copy the relevant data during
place change operations. And impact is huge. Here are the details of the
paper:

Optimizing Remote Data Transfers in X10. A Thangamani and V K Nandivada in
the proceedings of the Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
(PACT), 2018. Artifact evaluated (Available, Customizable-reusable, Results
replicated).

I am thinking how we can push in the changes to a release.

Best,
Krishna.

      Thanks Mikio!

      The full test suite for both Managed and Native X10 ran successfully
      last night, so I believe we are in good shape to make a release. I
      will go ahead with git tagging and building artifacts today.

      Hi Dave,

      Thank you for taking care of the new X10 release!  I also spent some
      time today and fixed the ManagedX10 build failure with Java11. With
      this change, we will require Ant 1.10.2 or later to build X10 from
      source. I updated the instruction on how to build X10 at the x10-lang
      web site. I also updated ecj and hazelcast to the latest.

      It is great if you can pick up my commits for the release.

            I've spent a little time today and resolved the NativeX10
            segfaults on MacOS 10.12/10.13 problem. We also have Mikio's
            work from last year to support Java9 with ManagedX10 that
            hasn't made it into a release yet.

            I propose to go ahead with a release of X10 (not X10DT) with
            pre-built packages for MacOS and Linux in addition to the
            source packages. (I don't have ready access to a Windows
            machine with the proper build environment. If anyone does and
            wants to build a pre-built Windows tar ball for the release let
            me know).

            I've kicked off a manual run of the full test suite on Linux to
            verify that the system is still sane. Assuming that goes ok, I
            would like to push out the release early next week.
