[ANNOUNCEMENT] Switching to Java 1.5 by August 1st
which means until then all code still needs to be 1.4 compatible and
hence gives those people who use 1.4 enough time
to switch to 1.5 on their platform.
Not a bad idea. However, we would only be switching trunk. Those
relying on 1.4 shouldn't running trunk in production. No one should be
relying on trunk except devs.
who says that? Because of various bug fixes and no releases one is
often forced to use a particular trunk revision. Maybe "should" makes
sense, but it doesn't have to be reality at all.
IMO this is a good point.
I reverted the changes, the 2.0.x branch should now be compatible with
Java 1.4 again.
How about the following procedure:
* Announce that after 2.0.3 we'll move to Java 1.5
* Release 2.0.3 (I guess this will at least take 3 weeks)
* Start coding for Java 1.5 after the release
WDYT?
