Hi there,
Oak will branch 1.6 in January, and it would be good to stay consistent
with previous years and have a stable branch that can be used with it.
This means we'll need a 2.14 branch and a 2.14.0 release at the *start*
of January.
We're currently voting on 2.13.6, which is supposed to be released this
weekend.
2.13.6 contains the first part of the WebDAV/HTTP related changes - it
adds a new httpclient4 based API in jackrabbit-webdav (deprecating the
old one, but keeping it), see
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4065>. It's supposed to go
into Oak 1.5.16.
Released on Dec 17...
I'm planning to cut 2.13.7 on Monday because *that* version will contain
the second half of these changes, switching jackrabbit-spi2dav's
remoting code to use the new client, see
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4066>. This release would go
into Oak 1.5.17.
Released just now...
Once we have branched for 2.14, we'll remove the httpclient3 based code
from trunk. This means it'll continue to be available in stable releases
(2.14.x), but will be gone in 2.15.0 (once we release that).
...
I'm now finished with the changes I want to see in 2.14.
Unless there are strong objections, I'll branch 2.14 tomorrow. Note that
work on 2.14 can continue (with API changes being the only exception).
Best regards, Julian
