Hi HC devs - Do I understand correctly that the annotations were removed in 4.5.3 in an incompatible way? Maybe I am missing something but breaking the code of existing consumers in a dot release is bad practice.
We needed to upgrade to 4.5.3 in order to get the SSL+SPNEGO fix that broke us with 4.5.2 but now doing so breaks our annotation usage. Is there some strategy for existing code to migrate or to use a shim of sorts for this? In the meantime, it seems we will need to downgrade back to 4.5.1 again to avoid the SSL+SPNEGO issue. If there are any critical security fixes/CVEs fixed between dot releases incompatible changes make it risky to upgrade. Hoping that you have some other answer for this. thanks, --larry
