The Apache Forrest uses an issue tracker called Jira. All of the project contributions should go there (not to the mailing list). This enables us to keep track of contributions and to classify and manage the issues.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR is the main entry point which provides access to enter, view, search, and add additional comments to issues. There are some additional search filters provided below.
You need to set up an account there before you can create new issues or add comments to existing issues. Anyone can register as a user and report issues. See guidelines below.
Note that the issue tracker is not a discussion or user help forum. Please discuss issues about using Forrest on the user or dev mailing list.
Security and vulnerability issues are co-ordinated through the ASF Security Team. That is only for reporting undisclosed security vulnerabilities in Apache products. For other issues, use the Forrest project Issue tracker.
The Priority is the severity according to the issue reporter. This will be a guideline to the development team to identify the most urgent issues. It is not a guarantee that a Critical issue will be resolved before a Major issue.
Follow the Jira help icon to see the definition of the options.
The project team will classify this according to their urgency. The aim is to be able to see at a glance which issues should be attended to, so that developers can operate efficiently and so that the product can be released as soon as possible. Some issues hinder the project, so need to be identified.
We use the following definition of the options.
Various general searches are available from the front page, e.g. "open issues classified by component", or "Added recently". The following are some special filters.
