I haven't looked very closely at the current code, so don't really know what the issues are..... but this won't stop me from commenting.

But if it is 1.3 before we get pure JodaTime, this sounds excessive. Lift 1.1 already has numerous breaking changes so if a cycle is just a milestone release then I think it's fine. > The other option I thought of is to make a new branch just for this and > just track master with the branch.

We'll be carrying this baggage forever (unless this was only a temp solution?) /Jeppe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
