Hi all, a big +1 from me for a 2.3 Branch, I can see the following additional improvements for the 2.3 branch while waiting for 3.0 line :) Upgrade to pax-web 1.1.x line since the 1.0.x line only does get attention for critical bugfixes :) Also add the web shell comands to the 2.3 line would be

I think it would make sense to create this branch and release it after 3.0 so that we can have a good overview of what we can backport into that branch. On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 00:34, Andreas Pieber anpie...@gmail.com wrote: TBH I'm +/-0; It seams to me that we've discussed that topic already

Hi all, we started to perform a bunch of changes on the Karaf trunk (future Karaf 3.0 branch): refactoring on the commands to introduce the sub-shell, update to Pax Web 2.0 and Jetty 8, renaming on the commands, new OSGi release, new Aries version, etc. It means a huge change for the users.

I think as the number of compatibility breaking stuff grows in the 3.x branch, the more welcomed a 2.3 release will be. On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 14:54, Jean-Baptiste Onofré j...@nanthrax.net wrote: Hi all, we started to perform a bunch of changes on the Karaf trunk (future Karaf 3.0 branch):

Not sure if forcing 1.6 is really required. Does that bring any value ? Another way is does that even change anything for us ? On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 15:16, Jamie G. jamie.goody...@gmail.com wrote: The concept of a 2.3.x branch to bridge the differences between 2.2.x and the to be 3.0.0 makes

It occurs more often that our desired dependencies require JDK 6. We've taken great care on the 2.1.x and 2.2.x lines to ensure JDK 5 compatibility, if we drop this requirement on 2.3.x branch then it opens more opportunities to make things easier in transition to the Karaf 3.0 (JDK 6 minimum)

IIRC during the summer we all agreed that 3.0 would be released for sure, certainly, without doubt, by the end of the summer, and everyone would enthusiastically help get it out. I don't think that really happened. I'd prefer that more effort go into releasing 3.0 with a finite set of changes
