_roughly_ ... Jena 5.6.0 was mid-October so Jena 6.0.0 is later than mid-January. I'd like there to a quiet time (no changes that motivate the major version number change) because impactful changes right up to the deadline have a habit of causing unexpected changes. A couples of weeks minimum. At the moment, I've done all the major changes I had listed as "must do" except adding the SPDX identifier. There maybe "clear-up" PRs if I stumble cross something that could do with some maintenance (see recent reformatting). I'm wondering whether have the extra directory level of `jena-extras` is worth it. It is 3 modules and all 3 are long-time modules so not really "extra". Another area is whether ARP (old RDF/XML parser) ought to move to `test`. `jena-core` then only has N-Triples reader (which is out of date). But updating ARP for RDF 1.2 is significant work (it is a SAX based parser) for little benefit. Using `jena-core` on its own is not a good idea so the idea of "N-Triples" has a logic to it. `jena-core` also has an the RDF/XML writers). As I write this comment, it feels like a good thing to move ARP. At worse, it can go back, but delaying is a delay of at least 2 years. If there is a need for better I/O in `jena-core`, putting in a Turtle parser and basic writer (which can serve for N-Triples) seems bette long term but unlikely to be ready for 6.0.0. RDF & SPARQL WG is very time consuming at the moment. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
