Hi everyone, ... it has been a while since our last 1.5.0 release, and since then we've added and updated quite a bit. Among the usual fixes and improvements we have major dependency upgrades (Spring, Spring Boot, Jersey) and got rid of Spring XML configuration while still maintaining 100% backwards compatibility. I think these changes are worth a new release, so I'm proposing to have a 1.6.0 release soon (in February) before this gets too big.
It would be great if you could all have a look at Jira and either fix/close the tickets associated with version 1.6 and add anything that really needs to go into this release. Keep in mind that we'll have other patch (1.6.1, 1.6.2...) and minor releases (1.7.0....). Would be great if we can move tickets that are not essential to a later release... just to get 1.6 out without too much of a delay. Please see here for the tickets currently associated with version 1.6: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1482?jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20AND%20resolution%20is%20EMPTY%20and%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.6.0%20%20ORDER%20by%20status%20DESC%2C%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC If there are no objections I'd open the 1.6.0 release branch soon (at the latest on Monday). If you need any help then please let me know. Cheers, Aleks
