OpenJPA 2.4.0 appears to be available on MavenCentral (Dated 2015-04-20) http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|org.apache.openjpa|openjpa|2.4.0|bundle
In mailing list archives there's a call to vote (With votes up to 2015-04-24) http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/VOTE-Release-Apache-OpenJPA-2-4-0-tt7587965.html#none But on the OpenJPA apache site the releases include only 2.3.0 Is 2.4.0 officially released? Is the April 20th 2015 artefact in Maven Central (that pre-dates the vote) a safe and valid build for production purposes? Am I correct that this version is required to enhance classes in a Java8 runtime? A Java8 migration is highly desirable but wonder if OpenJPA will be a barrier. If 2.4.0 was not officially released, is there a release coming? -- Aaron Scott-Boddendijk
