Thank you for the hard work Oliver. The generified API alone is worth a
release IMHO. Other Java 5 features like better synchronization can be
added later.
I think the heavy refactoring can still take place on the experimental
branch, the Java 5 migration is simply no longer one of its main
objectives.

It is also my point of view that we have enough stuff for the 1.8
release. It is not a problem to push out version 1.9 with new features
in the near future.
That said, release preparations always take some time, so Ralph, if you
come up with some code or enhancements, just go ahead.
Regarding the experimental branch: Maybe we should step back and start a
new discussion about design changes, new features, and the scope of
Configuration 2.0? Just to get a clearer direction.

Hi all,
the "generification" of [configuration] is now complete. The tests
were addressed, too. Clirr does not report any compatibility breaks.
If you do not have any objections against the current API, we can
start thinking about a new release. There are some Jira issues I am
going to have a look at. Are there other wishes/changes that should
go into a 1.8 release?
1. Are we dropping the experimental branch?
2. Now that we are using Java 5 I'd like to change the locking I added
from syncrhonization to read/write locks as that will significantly
reduce contention thread contention.
3. It is my intention (whenever I can find the time) to create an
AggregateConfiguration that works similar to CompositeConfiguration
but supports HierarchcialConfigurations. This will be much more memory
efficient than CombinedConfiguration, at least when used in a manner
similar to DynamicCombinedConfiguration, and have a lot less locking
issues. However, I'd like it to be configurable from
DefaultConfigurationBuilder. Needless to say, I don't see this
happening for a 1.8 release if that is going to happen soon.
3. It is still on my wish list to make the hierarchical configuration
the base instead of the flat structure, but that will have to wait for
a 2.0.
