Hi Brian,
this isn't exactly true - we have always incremented the major
version number with wire protocol changes when they are not backward
compatible - but it's erroneous to assume that there is a casual link
between the two - its just been coincidental to date.
cheers,
Rob

The latest development is being done on ActiveMQ 4.2 - however
there are a lot of improvements between 4.1 and 4.2 - namely:
1. Use of Java 5
2. Message cursors for persistent messages
3. Spooling of temporary messages id broker memory is full
and to be delivered in the next couple of weeks:
1. New very fast journal message store - that we good to be the
default
2. Improvements to message flow control - to take into account the
spooling and cursors
Given the above - I'd like to propose that the 4.2 release is re-
versioned to 5.0 and that we deliver a number of milestone
releases first - before GA
-1, We have, thus far, used major version numbers to mean
incompatible wire protocol changes, not "impressive new features"
and I would like to maintain that.
