I don't have a problem with updating it if there's something useful to take advantage of, knowing the user-base of the library. In other libraries, we don't need to upgrade just for the sake of it, of course. Perhaps with this requirement, and the API breakage you indicated, the version could bump to 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT? I like the semantic versioning rules (semver.org). - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter http://twitter.com/brettporter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
