Hi all,
the voting shows a clear tendency to use the trunk for the 2.0.0 version.
It wasn't a real vote but I guess we have lazy consensus about it.

Also the step to Java 1.6 as minimum requirement is a positive one.
Yes, I just created a ticket for that change [1]

I will start doing first bugfixes and with the issue PDFBOX-1587 we will break
the compatibility to the older version.

So I have some question to the branches. There is only a 1.8 branch, can I work
on this one to make some bugfixes and improvements that doesn't break the API?
or is it better to set this branch to 1.9?
At present all bugfixes should be relevant for the trunk and the branch. So that
IMHO there are two possible ways to do some bugfixing:

1) Use the trunk and merge the changes to the 1.8-branch (if needed)
2) Use the 1.8-branch and merge the changes to the trunk (if needed)

I don't if one of them is better than the other?

A 1.9 branch would only be needed if we really want to release a new version
including improvements based on the current api. Are you planning to do
something like that? I'd like to concentrate on the 2.0 and limit the support
for the old "version" to bugfixes and maybe smaller enhancements.

Jenkins is running on the trunk, right? is there a way to run it on the branch?
I've just created a build for the 1.8-branch [2]. The first build doesn't work
due to some issues with the jenkins solaris slave ...

Best regards
Thomas
