Hi all,
Just finished merging a pull request to TEXT-104, where the JaroWinkler
distance was updated. The class was actually computing a text similarity score,
not an edit distance. The user that contributed did a great job moving the
logic into a separate class, then updating the method to return a distance
instead.
Later I realized this would break both behaviour and binary compatibility.
So just wondering what others think. Is it time to gather a few more issues in
text, maybe even consider updating libraries/java/etc, drop @Deprecated stuff,
and prepare a 2.0? Or is it too soon, and instead revert moving the code to a
branch, and update TEXT-104 with a note about the branch?
CheersBruno
