AFAIK, it's not covered by the Commons conventions: http://commons.apache.org/releases/versioning.html#Major_Releases I'm not against bumping to 2.0, but I'm not sure it's necessary here. Does a bump give the right impression to end users? It seems very unlikely that anyone will still be running Java 1.3 or Java 1.4, so the change to 1.5 is not likely to concern users, even though it is a bit of a jump. Is the addition of generics sufficiently significant? > TIA, > -Simo > > http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ > http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ > http://twitter.com/simonetripodi > http://www.99soft.org/ > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
