Hello Emmanuel, Yes, but 8 will continue to have security patches for some time (3 years) and is still widely used. Because we’re a security library and mission critical software, it’s important for us to support older versions, if practical. Having said that, if no one chimes in, we’ll likely leave 8 behind for next release, 3.0.0. No irreversible steps here. If a compelling case to support 8 comes up later, it will be possible to do, via a branch off the last release, e.g. 2.0.8 Thanks for weighing in Emmanuel — Shawn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
