The original proposal: : The proposal - I would like to start the formal release process for a 1.10 version that would change the java language level to java 8. The release would be based on the current 1.9 branch and would be released instead of a 1.9.4. The 1.10 release would not contain additional feature changes that are not present in the current 1.9 branch. (sorry for the formatting, issues with email client(s))
