The issue was discussed on list. The branch was available for inspection in the repository for > 1 month. The warning about the API breakage was very well publicized including a message that included "**** BREAKING CHANGE****" in the title. The API breakage was trivial (requiring the change in a few places in your code and caught by the compiler). The reasons for the change were compelling (moving away from hard coding the Servlets, thus allowing support for non-JEE containers, Portlets, etc.) The change has been on the 1.1 roadmap. So, while I agree that breaking APIs is less than 100% optimal, it does happen from time to time and after significant discussion and warning. > > > Glenn... > > > > On Aug 10, 9:55 am, Tim Nelson <[email protected]> wrote: > > There were changes made to remove the requirement for lift to run in a > > servlet container.
