Hi, if we are looking at the top level domains than I think you can add versioning to the initial list with util and proxy (in the future we can think about replacing whole versioining with bnd baseline).
Blueprint has some tests with quiesce and it should be also ready for release together. Later JMX and blueprint plugin. Next big modules to release could be jndi, subsystem, web. In the end there are also independent: async, spi-fly, transaction Pushstream seems to be only a prototype and could be dropped? Are you going to make a full code review of all the changes in the modules before release? In case we can handle some verification in automatic tests it would be the best solution. If you need any help in releasing then please let me know. śr., 4 lut 2026 o 11:18 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected]> napisał(a): > Hi Dominik > > I don't want to release everything in one round, because it's pretty hard > to review. > > I was more thinking about starting with util/proxy and then blueprint, and > then jmx, etc. > > Wdyt ? > > Regards > JB > > On Sun, Feb 1, 2026 at 5:39 PM Dominik Przybysz <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> I'm happy to hear that :) >> >> What order of releases are you planning?
