Supporting a version compatible with 1.6 while moving ahead using 1.7 sounds good -Michael > On Nov 24, 2014, at 6:47 AM, Michael Keselman > wrote: > > Please keep Java 1.6 compatibility for at least one more year.

Re: [zeromq-dev] [Proposal] - JeroMQ to use Java 1.7
Fair enough. How about this compromise: The 3.2.X version of JeroMQ will remain compatible with 1.6 but any work towards 4.0 will be Java 7? Thoughts? -Trev On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 10:47 AM, Michael Keselman wrote: > Please keep Java 1.6 compatibility for at least one more year.

Please keep Java 1.6 compatibility for at least one more year. There are still have many production applications on 1.6 and the upgrade is a fairly slow process. It is not unusual to run some older systems beyond end of support of Java -Michael ___ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev

Yes I think I agree with you then, especially if its been end of lifed more than a year ago now.

It allows you to write code that looks like this: https://gist.github.com/trevorbernard/5311e1dcaaa074654a09 This is an experimental API I have been yak shaving. At some point I'm going to port ideas to JeroMQ/JZMQ. This will require min Java 7. > I want to say, if its free to support 1.6 then we should support it. > However, if takes time to maintain it then I don't know. Currently it's free but Java 6 was end of lifed in Feb 2013. There are no more public updates for it. That alone should be motivation enough for the upgrade. -Trev ___ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev

Hello, I am not familiar with JeroMQ and not too much with Java, so take my inputs carefully :P. > but I accidently released v0.3.4 with Java 1.7 and it's proved not to be a > problem. This is a good sign. What are the advantages of supporting >= 1.7 only (and thus dropping support for 1.6) ? Are there benefits for the JeroMQ devs/maintainer? I want to say, if its free to support 1.6 then we should support it. However, if takes time to maintain it then I don't know.

[zeromq-dev] [Proposal] - JeroMQ to use Java 1.7
Hi, I propose we bump the minimum supported Java version to 1.7 since Java 6 is already end of life. Originally I was leary of doing this because I believed it would break peoples code but I accidently released v0.3.4 with Java 1.7 and it's proved not to be a problem. Thoughts? -Trevor ___ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
