Results are in: as per Twitter poll, the winner is "2.11.0.rc1" by 75% of votes. I will plan on using it, and do the first pre-release candidate soon, within a week. This will not likely be the actual release (some smaller fixes will go in very likely), but most new features should be in, as well as behavioral changes -- my main goal is to try to find regressions regarding behavior, and let users some time to give feedback before finalizing changes. For what it is worth, here is the current set of changes: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.11 -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
