Hi Everyone Due to this proposal received a very positive results from both the committer team and the community[1], we are taking action now. The new repository, skywalking-java[2], has been created. And the code transfer has begun. After the agent side is finished, we will remove the codes from the main repo directly.
After this move, the java agent and backend wouldn't ask for a version match. We are going to focus on protocol-level compatibility only.
