Robert Lazarski edited comment on AXIS2-6051 at 5/29/24 1:33 PM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- All, I just made a commit upgrading httpclient4 to httpclient5, which is the last major piece to releasing 1.8.3. Well, OSGI is commented out and may get triaged to 1.8.4 unless a volunteer steps up as no current Axis committers seem to use it and it is kind of deep in regards to jakarta, There are bugs open still, if you want to champion them now is the time and to be clear anything with patches makes it much more likely to happen. Concerning the community, this is now the sequence of events and Rampart is now at the top due to a significant contribution as explained in RAMPART-449. Rampart release off of Axis2 1.8.2--> Axiom release --> Axis2 1.8.3 --> Rampart release off of Axis2 1.8.3. Again no ETA as we are all volunteers. I can say that since no major dev work needs to happen and it is all release type stuff, it should go relatively quickly as in the next month or two. was (Author: robertlazarski): All, I just made a commit upgrading httpclient4 to httpclient5, which is the last major piece to releasing 1.8.3.

(and would welcome any info > about Axiom/Rampart along the same lines). Good or bad news doesn't > matter...would appreciate having some concrete statement to address our own > internal planning about the way forward. :) > Appreciate any info you can provide. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@axis.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@axis.apache.org
