Re: next derby release
+1 to a 10.15.2 maintenance release. I have no particular opinion about Java 9 versus Java 11 (in many of my environments I am still using Java 8/Derby 10.14 quite successfully, in fact.) bryan On Sun, Jan 5, 2020 at 10:47 AM Davide Grandi wrote: > > May be > 10.15.2 realeased with Java 9 > 10.15.3-SNAPSHOT in development with Java 11 (or whatever is the next > development name) > ? > > Bye, > > Davide > > On 05/01/2020 18:48, Rick Hillegas wrote: > > It's been a year since we produced a Derby release.

Re: next derby release
May be 10.15.2 realeased with Java 9 10.15.3-SNAPSHOT in development with Java 11 (or whatever is the next development name) ?

But I would be happy to manage a 10.15.2 maintenance release in order to roll up the handful of bug fixes which have accumulated over the last year. The only reason I can see for a new feature release would be to advance the minimal JVM version to the Java 11 LTS version. According to convention, this would require a vote by the community. I am not planning any work over the next year which would require Java 11 features, so I don't personally see any compelling reason for advancing the JVM version. What are your thoughts?

Re: next derby release
Thanks, Bryan. I am leaning toward a 10.14.1 feature release for two reasons: 1) We have at least one new feature which requires hard-upgrade. 2) The 10.14.1 release notes can serve as our announcement that we are sunsetting support for Java 8 in the next (10.15.1) release. I have updated the wiki front page to note that we are working on a 10.14.1 feature release: https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/FrontPage. Please use the 10.14.1 release-planning page (https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenFourteenOneRelease) to describe any additional features or important bug-fixes which you think the release notes should mention.

Re: next derby release
Alternatively, we could produce a 10.14.1 release which exposes the recent work on autoincrement columns. The JDK9-focussed release could be called 10.15.1.

Here are my thoughts: o I was planning on managing a 10.14.1 release which would build and run cleanly on JDK 9. The idea would be that the code would not build or run on previous versions of the JDK, due to our limited resources and the complexity of building on multiple JDKs. I feel that it would be too risky to release 10.14.1 right after JDK 9 goes GA on 2017-09-21 (see http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2017-June/005867.html). I would want to wait for the first maintenance release of JDK 9, which would probably come a couple quarters later. That means a GA for 10.14.1 sometime in 2018. o That's too long to wait for a new Derby release. I think that we need a 10.13.2 maintenance release in the interim. I have created a webpage to track that effort: https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenThirteenTwoRelease I am happy to volunteer to manage a 10.13.2 release sometime in September. I'm also happy if someone else wants to volunteer to manage the release for an earlier date. Does anyone have opinions about what would motivate an earlier vs. later date? Thanks, -Rick
