Hi I suggest to EOL SMX 3.x at the end of this year. Then its easy to remember. Also allows people to take that into account, having 6 months of time ahead.
And then do a last SMX 3.x release in Q4 2012, so the people who are on SMX 3.x have at least a new patch release they can use, in case they are stilling running on SMX 3.x after the EOL. And then make the EOL announcement visibile on the SMX front page, as a news item etc. And on the SMX download page, in case people is downloading the 3.x release etc. On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Gert Vanthienen <[email protected]> wrote: > L.S., > > > Redirecting diwakar's question into a new thread to separate it from the > future of ServiceMix discussion.
