[X] -1 I oppose this release because...
The minimum Java version has been changed since 1.2.4 from Java 6 to
Java 7. This isn't mentioned in the release notes (which explicitly
state Java 6 as the minimum) or the change log. I think we need at least
an RC2 to address these.
On the same topic, should we increase the version number to 1.3.0?
On one hand, no-one should even be using Java 6 (or Java 7 but Tomcat 8
has a mandatory spec requirement to run on Java 7) these days so from
that point of view 1.2.5 doesn't seem unreasonable. On the other,
changing the minimum Java version in a point release doesn't seem right.
I'm leaning towards 1.3.0 but would be happy with 1.2.5 if that is the
consensus.
Thoughts?
Mark
