What tech debt do you mean exactly?

I'm happy either way, don't have strong opinion, we can stay at 3.x.x versioning.

-0 for 4.0. Bumping JDK version doesn't break APIs and contracts. So I'd
prefer 3.10. 4.0 may give a signal of a big break change but it isn't.

That's awesome. Thanks for driving this, Andor!

After releasing 3.9.4 I’d like to announce EoL of the 3.8.x release line
and create a new minor/major off the master branch.


Does this mean the next major version (i.e. 4.0.0/3.10.0) will be released
soon, as we need to have a new current release before announcing EoL of
the
3.8.x release?

Given the 3.9.4 release is in progress, any rough idea on when the next
major version will be?

what if we rather call the new release 4.0.0

+1 for calling it 4.0.0. Looks like we have been on 3.x for about 17 years
already.

what if we make two steps forward instead of one and let Java 17 to be the
minimum requirement

+1 for Java 17

Best,

Li

Hi Li,

The topic comes up every so often on the Dev list, so let’s bring it
up
again. After releasing 3.9.4 I’d like to announce EoL of the 3.8.x
release
line and create a new minor/major off the master branch. I’d like to
drop
Java 8 support in that release and make Java 11 as minimum requirement
for
ZooKeeper.

* In which case, what if we rather call the new release 4.0.0?
* Additionally what if we make two steps forward instead of one and
let
Java 17 to be the minimum requirement? With that, we could upgrade
Jetty
to
the latest actively supported version.

Please share your thoughts.

Andor
