2.12 Release: Additions to COCOON-2333 (list of current jars)

[i***@gmail.com]

Was looking through the list of 2.1.12 jars, and notice that many of the
jars are quite old.

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/misc/notes/review-jars.txt?view=markup

I also notice that my additions (sent 11 Dec) are not included.

What are the plans to upgrade the jars before the 2.1.12 release?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,
the plans are the ones contained in the SVN link you've reported above:
consider that 2.1.12 will run on JDK 1.4, hence even JAR files must
comply with this.

I cannot find your additions "sent 11 Dec": would you mind to add these
as comment to COCOON-2333 in the format of the SVN link above, or -
better - as SVN patch? Thanks.

Regards.

See this dev mail list. On that same day i made efforts to
include "some" of your notes. See also the commits notifications
mail list around that time, where your contributions were
specifically acknowledged.

As explained by various people, the Java version limitation
must remain. I re-reviewed the list at that time, changed the
format of the notes, and noted the maximum version available
for some of the dependencies.

Thanks David (and all the devs who are working hard to release 2.1.12)
-- I see you did add some of my additions to the list, and apologize for
missing those.

I also appreciate the need for supporting legacy systems, and look
forward to continuing to incorporate newer jars and JDKs in the future.
