Immediately after the 0.24 release I plan to remove the last of the old
style interface (unless someone beats me to it). Thanks to the work by
Tom Morris this is now finally possible.
Another thing that we have discussed earlier is to drop the support for
Java1.4. The reasoning is that we assume that Sun will begin the
end-of-life process for Java1.4 before we are able to create the next
stable release (0.26) that we presumably will have in the beginning of
the autumn. I hope you think this is a good idea. If so I will start by
moving over the nightly builds so that they no longer will build using
java1.4 but only using java5 (and once it works also with java6). Then I
will work in replacing all instances of Map, Iterator, List etc. with
their typed counterpart because I think that generics providing for type
safe containers is the best thing with java5. I expect this work to be
simple and straightforward.
If you don't think it is a good idea to drop support for java1.4 now,
please speak up so that we can settle this as soon as possible.
