New blog post up with the details: 
http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com/2011/04/geotools-8.html

A couple supporting links:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Skip+GeoTools+3
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/conventions/version.html
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/procedures/release.html

With this in place the project will follow a traditional 
<Major>.<Minor>.<Patch> release number; essentially dropping the "2" from 
"GeoTools 2".

Thanks to Joachim Van der Auwera from the Geomajas project who's questions on 
the user list lead to this change in policy. A reminder that the GeoTools 
proposal process is open to all, often proposals need to be back up by effort; 
but we do run an open project :-)

If you are using 2.8-SNAPSHOT (and why wouldn't you it helps us get early 
feedback :-) ) please update by changing over to 8-SNAPSHOT:
<properties> <geotools.version>8-SNAPSHOT</geotools.version> </properties> 
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.geotools</groupId> 
<artifactId>gt-main</artifactId> <version>${geotools.version}</version> 
</dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.geotools</groupId> 
<artifactId>gt-epsg-hsql</artifactId> <version>${geotools.version}</version> 
</dependency> </dependencies>
