Hi Simone, Thanks for the response;
My first thought on commons-chain relate to the other 2.0 issues apart from CHAIN-76 that have been delivered (which is a lot I notice - congratulations on getting to this point!). Are the changes in your view stable and do they need further tests/samples to ensure all is good (I haven't looked at test coverage yet). I notice cookbook sample changes (CHAIN-66) but do we need to provide more (plus amend documentation) to provide certainty going forward? I guess my thinking relates to whether work such as CHAIN-76 is a 2.0 or 2.1 issue. I have no strong view on this although a move away from XML-centric configuration is certainly desirable. For CHAIN-76, I will apply the prototype patch to a copy of the 2.0 over the weekend and take a closer look at what you submitted. I need to refresh my memory on commons-chain (its been a while...) but I like to think I can get up to speed fairly quickly here.

Hi Steve, very nice to hear there is someone willing to put new energies on Chain! :) So, the latest step IMHO before to cut the first chain RC, is CHAIN-76[1] where some work has already been done but far to be completed. If you want to give a help here, there's enough space to get involved - I would be more than pleased to revamp my interest in Chains :) I hope to read from you soon!
