Re: [VOTE] Release BCEL 6.0 based on RC3

I'd much rather an imperfect version of BCEL be released than we continue to wait for perfection and never release. I'm very concerned that we're going to be waiting at least a year for the 6.0 release. Mark submitted about a dozen issues around six weeks ago and probably only one or two have been

+1 to releasing an Alpha or making 6.0-RC3 available via Maven. Compiling it ourselves is a really painful solution. It means we also need to setup our own public Maven repository or make other drastic changes to our release engineering. On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 3:03 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > We c

Hi Mark, Are many of your changes breaking backward compatibility? I'm wondering if there are only a few that do if we could prioritize them in order to get a 6.0 release out with the rest of the changes coming in a 6.1. Thanks, Ben On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 9:06 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: > I am

Is BCEL-209 the only pending issue that would break binary compatibility? Perhaps we could prioritize the issues that would break compatibility. On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 7:19 AM, Benedikt Ritter wrote: > 2015-02-19 16:14 GMT+01:00 Ben McCann : > > > Why do you say users would have t

I like the idea. I've run into this problem before. The library I've been most familiar with is re2 for C++, but a popular Java version would be great. On Sat, Jan 31, 2015 at 11:27 AM, Phil Steitz wrote: > On 1/31/15 8:58 AM, Benson Margulies wrote: > > So, onc
