In the future, yes. The result of that poll was a decision to keep targetting Java 1.4, though. If there are any features that require Java 1.5, then we could introduce 1.5-specific sources into the repository, just like we used to have 1.4-specific sources when we were targetting 1.3. Personally, I would be happy with aiming for 1.5, but it is sensible for all of the XML Graphics projects to have the same aim, due to their interdependencies. > * Is there a known procedure for upgrading external libraries used > within the project? No, we don’t really have a policy. So far I have only updated external dependencies to fix particular bugs, I think. Assuming it doesn’t break anything, updating to Rhino 1.6R7 would be fine with me. We can’t go for Rhino 1.7 though, since it requires Java 1.5. > > Technically, these functions should return integers that identify the > > timeout/interval, rather than TimerTask objects. > > I haven't seen this stated anywhere within the changes nor noticed any > new bug for this (sorry if I missed something).

Currently this is documented, to a degree, in HTML 5: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/no.html#timers And there is also documentation like Mozilla’s: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.setTimeout Their definitions are likely to move to a new, standalone spec in the W3C Web Applications WG: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008OctDec/0009.html I’ve filed a bug for their return values: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45947 -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
