I don't think calling it 3.0-jdk7 is a good thing to do: the runtime would be different, with different bugs. Plus, it would add confusion on some build tools, with random dependencies on jdk7, or indy, or ... I think we should focus on getting 2.5 out, and then go with 3.0 asap. 2018-03-12 17:58

2.6 is just 3.0 backported to JDK7 (minus those features which don't backport easily without a JVM8). Most users should be skipping 2.6 and going straight to 3.0 which is where our focus should be ... soon. 2.6 is meant to help people start moving towards Parrot who are stuck on JDK7. Given it has

Hi Cédric, Before 2.5.0 GA is out, we have to maintain 2.4.x IMO. According to the original plan, 2.5.x will be a short life release, we will focus on 2.6.x and 3.0.x soon. Cheers, Daniel.Sun -- Sent from: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Groovy-Dev-f372993.html

I do. It's long overdue that 2.5 should be out. By working on 4 (!) different branches, we just can't manage to publish 2.5, this is a shame. 2018-03-11 15:23 GMT+01:00 Mauro Molinari : > Il 11/03/2018 15:12, Cédric Champeau ha scritto: > >> Hi folks, >> >> I'm wondering if it's reasonable to con
