Hi, the _index.md should be updated to reflect the changes for Faces 4.1.

We should call out the changes from the Faces 4.1 Changelog.

These are Faces 5.0 changes that should be removed:

1. Make SelectItem#value generic faces#206 (Make SelectItem#value generic Component: Components/Renderers)
2. Clarify EL / CDI integration: implicit object or CDI producer for artifacts without required inject point support (request, session, component, cc) faces#1564 looks to be mentioned: Re-add #{request} in CDI mode
3. Clarify EL / CDI integration: implicit object or CDI producer for artifacts without required inject point support (request, session, component, cc) faces#1564 looks to be mentioned: Re-add #{request} in CDI mode

Missing Deprecation:

1. Missing Full State Saving Deprecation in the deprecations list: Faces 4.1: Deprecate full state saving (FSS) faces#1829

Other:

1. I don't think there is a need to call out: Remove unused PreDestroyCustomScopeEvent and PostConstructCustomScopeEventAdd in both the new features and removals.

[arjantijms]

Hi, the _index.md should be updated to reflect the changes for Faces 4.1.

Thanks, can you verify the updated index?

[pnicolucci]

Hi @arjantijms

We should remove the following as they point to Faces 5.0 work:

1. "importConstants should be allowed everywhere, not only in f:metadata" as that is in Faces 5.0: importConstants should be allowed everywhere, not only in f:metadata faces#1466
2. "Enhance UIInput events with HTML5 like oninput" as that is also Faces 5.0: Enhance UIInput events with HTML5 like oninput faces#1507
3. Setting/overriding components default value -> Setting/overriding components default value faces#1602

Also I think removing "<f:ajax> execute="@this" and render="@this" does not behave as expected when nested in composite component" would be good since that looks like it was for Faces 4.0: jakartaee/faces#1567

Would be good to add:

Add UUIDConverter -> jakartaee/faces#1819
Add ExternalContext.setResponseContentLengthLong -> jakartaee/faces#1764
Add rowStatePreserved property to UIRepeat, exactly the same as UIData -> jakartaee/faces#1263
Spec: jakarta.faces.FACELETS_REFRESH_PERIOD default when ProjectStage is Development -> jakartaee/faces#1821
FacesMessage: implement equals(), hashcode(), toString() -> jakartaee/faces#1823

Just a couple of things

@arjantijms
Please look into @pnicolucci comment at "#738 (comment)" .

[arjantijms]

Please look into @pnicolucci comment at "#738 (comment)" .

I just did, thanks! @pnicolucci can you do the final check?

[pnicolucci]

@arjantijms this looks good! My only minor comment is that the UUID entry points to an issue but nothing else does. So for consistency, we could remove the issue reference, or add an issue for each item.

On ballot completion, the specification committee mentor:

• adds this final checklist to the main PR.
• adds the approved label to the PRs, and sends out the Ballot Summary per this template to the public Jakarta EE Specification Committee email list
• calculates the staged EFTL TCK signature and promotes it to the committee download area
  using the https://ci.eclipse.org/jakartaee-spec-committee/job/promote-release/ job. Manually editing the jenkins Build Information will help identify the build (ie. Mail 2.0 or CDI 3.0).
• merges the specification (and apidocs) PRs, ensuring the "date:" field in the _index.md file has an appropriate value to allow publishing.
• updates the specification page with the ballot results. This is normally done via a separate PR that should be reviewed, approved, and merged.
• notifies the EMO of the ballot results by email to [email protected]. Just forward the ballot summary note sent earlier to the public Spec Committee email list.
• creates an issue in the specification project that includes the following checklist for the specification project team: Finalize the Jakarta Faces 4.1 Release faces#1930
