Hi Just a question on the naming of this release (2.10.0*.pr1*), Is this pr suffix normal for jackson for a preview release? We have a couple of tools we use for dependency updates and they don't handle this naming format (pr1)1, 2 i.e. our repos keep notifying us there's a dependency update available but we don't wish to update to it because it's a pre-release version, (we have workarounds but it's all per repo config and we have a lot...).
1. dependabot, (supported patterns <https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/58b529e1b7d632b56e5caa7939778e25ae4f4676/maven/lib/dependabot/maven/version.rb#L20-L26> ) 2. gradle-versions-plugin (default patterns <https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin#revisions>) Ideally a regular suffix would be used such as alpha, beta or rc (release candidate), so that tooling in the ecosystem doesn't need to adapt to another format. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask about it.
