I would be inclined to leave Java 5 compatibility to the few (if any)
people who still use it. They have access to the CSV source code and
they can modify it to make it Java 5 compatible.

Why would we target Java 5? It is long past end-of-life.
Well I don't have a strong preference here. The reason people bring up for
targeting older Java versions is, to reach a broader user group. I'm fine
with targeting Java 7.

Hi all,
this vote it canceled to address the various issues identified. I'll need
some time to work through the list, so I expect the next RC by mid of the
week (help is always welcome ;-).
Till then I'd like to hear comments regarding the Java version to target.
From what I've seen it looks like we can remove all the Java 6/7 stuff
and
target Java 5.

We have worked a long time on CSV and more an more people seem to be
using the SNAPSHOT since there is no stable release. Although we still
have
some outstanding issues regarding some corner cases and uncommon formats,
It feels like the API as reached a solid state. So I'd like to finally
release CSV 1.0.
CSV 1.0 RC1 is available for review here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/csv/ (svn rev. 5829)
(note that CSV can be build using Java 8.0, but the website cannot,
since the maven-findbugs-plugin is still uncompatible with Java 8.0)
Maven artifacts are here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1039
Details of changes since we started with 1.0 are in the release notes:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/csv/RELEASE-
NOTES.txt
http://people.apache.org/~britter/csv-1.0-RC1/changes-report.html
The tag is here:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/csv/tags/
CSV_1.0_RC1/ (svn
rev. 1609779)
N.B. the SVN revision is required because SVN tags are not immutable.
Site:
http://people.apache.org/~britter/csv-1.0-RC1/
(note some *relative* links are broken and the 1.0 directories are
not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed)
Clirr Report:
-- No Clirr report, since this is the first release --
RAT Report:
http://people.apache.org/~britter/csv-1.0-RC1/rat-report.html
(note that the files in src/test/resources are ignored by rat, since
they are used as test csv input and test result specifications)
KEYS:
http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS
Please review the release candidate and vote.
This vote will close no sooner that 72 hours from now, i.e. after 2300
GMT 14-July 2014
[ ] +1 Release these artifacts
[ ] +0 OK, but...
[ ] -0 OK, but really should fix...
[ ] -1 I oppose this release because...
Thanks!
