Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Commons Wiki" for change notification.
The "CompressRoadmap" page has been changed by StefanBodewig: https://wiki.apache.org/commons/CompressRoadmap?action=diff&rev1=18&rev2=19 The idea of a 2.0 release that is allowed to break backwards compatibility has come up more than once over a span of three years or even longer. This page will gather requirements and design ideas in the hope that a real implementation will be created based on the existing code. + A starting ground for some design ideas is http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/compress/branches/compress-2.0/ - nothing carved into stone, yet. Feedback, ideas and corrections more than welcome. + == General == - * do we stick with Java5 or does one of the later versions offer anything that would really benefit Compress? + * SETTLED: Compress 2.0 will require Java7 at compile and run time. - Stefan sees a chance NIO2 will help and is totally sure the "new java.util.zip" of Java7 is even worse than the old code :-) - * external dependencies? we have copied or reinvented some code from IO - do we want to keep our copy or use a dependency? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
