Thanks for your show of support Kevin. The 2.0.8 release should not differ significantly from what is currently in CVS. It's just a maintenance bug fix release. I would expect any major changes to go into a 2.1 or 3.0 release path, with the principal feature additions being Perl 5.8 compatibility and a conditional compilation support for J2ME and pre-1.4 JDK's (not that there are any 1.4-specific features included at present). Other things that have been discussed in the past include a proper user's guide, a robust set of regression and unit tests, java.util.regex wrappers, etc. But we've got to bring the project back into compliance with Jakarta, or given our fearless ASF Chair's email Apache, release process before moving forward. As long as you stay on the list, you'll be kept up to date on any plans as this is the place they'll be discussed. Even if you do not have time to make code contributions, you can always participate in development discussions to help keep the software focused in the right direction. daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
