All,

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on adding anything to 8.5.final (likely .100) to indicate that the build was the last in the series. Of course, we will advertise EOL on the web site, etc. but I was thinking something more runtime-oriented.

Would it be okay to add an INFO log on startup that says "8.5.x has reached EOL and you should consider upgrading to 9.0 or later. Bug fixes including security fixes are unlikely to be released for 8.5.x after 2024-03-31."

Perhaps that's too annoying?

I'm even thinking that we might want to bake this kind of thing into all releases. Every release knows its release-date, and we could have a start message that warns the user whenever the release-date gets to be reasonably far in the past. Say, 6 months. Or a year. Something "reasonable". Just in case nobody bothers to upgrade to x.y.final to see this kind of message.

Any thoughts?
