This release was made possible by contributions from @SethTisue,@adriaanm, @ashawley, @lrytz, @som-snytt.
We would like to thank them for their help.

[adriaanm]

Those are some nice release notes! Looks like you're all set for v1.0.6! Once you publish the release, the commit will be tagged and travis will stage a release on sonatype. Let me know when it's done so I can push the button to promote the staging repo to maven central.

[som-snytt]

Thanks for the mention, @adriaanm . I didn't have the gumption to adopt the module, but it's nice to see folks step up who can also exercise it!

[ashawley]

@biswanaths Release notes look good!

All the items under "Administrative" are TBD -- they're not done yet. I only proposed those things. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Were you planning on doing them?

[adriaanm]

@som-snytt, I'd love to take credit, but I didn't write the release notes, was just pasting them. @biswanaths wrote them

[som-snytt]

Thanks @biswanaths ! What conscientiousness! Except for the part about not pasting the release notes. Just kidding!

[lespea]

Any update on getting this released?

[biswanaths]

I would like to address this #99 before pushing the release. Seems we are missing some paths for the OOM fix. Hopefully in couple of days.

[lespea]

Oh yeah that seems like a good plan. Thanks for the update!

[ashawley]

Change mimaPreviousVersion in build.sbt to more recent scala-xml than 1.0.1

I tried making this change in #98, but it didn't ended up going very smoothly for reasons I don't understand. It's not a blocker for the next release, though.

[ashawley]

Ok, I resolved the issue with Mima by adding a commit to #98 that fixed it. I'd say we are good to release a new version of scala-xml once #98 and #100 are merged!

[ghost]

Any ETA when this release due out in the wild? Keen to see #59 & #99 get out there. Looks like most things are ready to go. TIA

[sarahgerweck]

Like @devisaneer, I'd love to see this as well: the fix to #45 / #91 is something that would be quite useful for my project.

[EdgeCaseBerg]

Really looking forward to seeing #58 resolved! Is this going to be released soon?

[SethTisue]

@biswanaths do you need help? perhaps some of the people commenting on this ticket could help you.

[biswanaths]

@SethTisue , let me get through this.

[biswanaths]

Really sorry for lot any and all for this inordinate delay.

I am restarted to work on this. Please do expect a release in couple of days.

[biswanaths]

Merged #98 and #100 .

Thanks again @ashawley . Only if each of my thank was a dollar, Aaron would be a millionaire.

[ashawley]

Excellent! Thank you, @biswanaths! Looking forward to the release.

[biswanaths]

@adriaanm , @SethTisue Can any of you help with
" Ask Scala compiler to update versions.properties to next release of scala-xml" ?

[SethTisue]

Ask Scala compiler to update versions.properties to next release of scala-xml

tracking as scala/scala-dev#227. we'll get it in 2.12.1, assuming the 1.0.6 release goes well

[biswanaths]

@adriaanm , https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/releases/tag/v1.0.6

Do I need to do anything else ? As mentioned previously can you help us pushing this to maven central ?

[ashawley]

@biswanaths Seems like #108 could be merged and added to 1.0.6. What do you think?

[biswanaths]

@ashawley Sure enough. Already did a merge. I think have to look into creating new tag and release.

[SethTisue]

over at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgscala-lang-1342/org/scala-lang/modules/ we see artifacts for 2.11, 2.12.0-M1, and 2.12.0-M5. since there are no 2.12.0-RC1 artifacts, since #108 was only merged later, instead of promoting that staging repository to Maven Central, I suggest we let it expire. you can delete the old v1.0.6 tag (keep a copy of the release notes!), merge #108, then push a new tag and Travis should publish again. once that's done, comment here and I'll take a look over on Sonatype to see if we got something we can promote this time.

[SethTisue]

@adriaanm , @SethTisue Can any of you help with
" Ask Scala compiler to update versions.properties to next release of scala-xml" ?

yes, scala/scala#5410

[SethTisue]

@biswanaths I took the liberty of revising the notes at https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/releases/tag/v1.0.6 a bit. in particular, I separated actual user-visible changes from other sorts of changes, and put the user-visible changes first. you might want to double-check that I classified the items correctly

[biswanaths]

@SethTisue , release notes look much better.

[biswanaths]

@SethTisue , deleting the tag and re-releasing with #108 as suggested by you looks better. We will do as such.

[biswanaths]

Done, deleted the tag and released. @SethTisue let me know if you need anything else to push to sonatype. Also do we need to push it to maven central ?

[SethTisue]

I closed and released the staging repos (there were two this time, I guess it must be timing-dependent whether you get one or two) at oss.sonatype.org just now (it's a manual step in the process that we do through the Sonatype web UI), so the artifacts should show up on Maven Central soon (within the next hour or so)

[SethTisue]

1.0.6 is on Maven Central

[SethTisue]

All the items under "Administrative" are TBD -- they're not done yet. I only proposed those things. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Were you planning on doing them?

@ashawley can you double-check the release notes?

[ashawley]

The release notes look good to me. Those are indeed the user-visible changes that you listed first. Thanks!

[SethTisue]

Should we tweet about this from http://twitter.com/scala_lang ?

[biswanaths]

@SethTisue , would be great if we tweet. Hope it will drive towards some activity and help us.

[SethTisue]

re: driving activity, scala_lang could retweet something you tweeted yourself, as well

[SethTisue]

1.0.6 is bundled with Scala 2.12.1, which came out today
