Accumulo Folks, I would like to declare end of life for the 1.4 branch of development. It's been active for a little over two years and the release of 1.6.0 means we now have three active releases.
Declaring end of life would mean * Posting an ANNOUNCE message to the user list * No longer accepting issue fix version targets for future 1.4 releases * Removing fix version targets of 1.4.x for existing open issues * The end of having a long lived 1.4 related branch in git * Removing direct references to 1.4.x releases on our download page * No longer linking to the 1.4 related documentation from the main navigation area Our issue tracker shows that candidate version 1.4.6 currently has: * 9 closed issues, none of which are blockers or critical. * 1 issue in patch available status, marked critical * 18 open issues with a target fix version of 1.4.6, four of which are marked critical. Because there is existing work, but not yet enough to warrant a release, I propose that on successful passing of this vote we create a "1.4.6-eol" tag with the then current state of the development branch. Please vote [ ] +1 I am in favor of announcing End of Life according to the above plan [ ] +-0 I am indifferent [ ] -1 I am opposed to the above End of Life plan because... I'm treating this like a release vote. Thus, it will be handled with Majority Approval: to pass it will need 3 committers to +1 and more committers voting +1 than -1. Vote will remain open for 72 hours, until Tuesday, May 6 2014, 20:40 UTC -- Sean
