Hi! finally the jakarta branch has landed on master :-) next stop add JDK-17 support, and upgrade relevant libraries (selenide, lucene, the Jenkinsfile, etc.).
Should not take too much to prepare an initial 3.0.0 release, so we can focus on the post-javax world. As for 2.x releases, I think we should answer there too to security issues, at least for a while, so I've opened a 2.x branch for that. If anyone wants to backport there features from 3.0.0, please feel free, as for myself, I'll keep focus on 3.0.0 / security issues on 2.x, can't spent much focus on 2.x these days. cheers, juan pablo On Sat, Sep 20, 2025 at 10:45 AM Ulf Dittmer <[email protected]> wrote: > > Question for the committers: would jspwiki 2.x continue to be supported, at > least in the sense of getting bug fixes? > > If not, I'd argue for a small update in the requirements, because users > would essentially be forced to upgrade after the 3.0 release.
