Hi I'd like to summarize the IRC discussion about ServiceMix 5. We have currently 3 active branches: 5.4.x, 5.5.x and 5.x (for 5.6.x)
* 5.4.x (Karaf 2.4.3, Camel 2.14.4, CXF 3.0.5, ActiveMQ 5.11.3) - I'm going to upgrade it to Karaf 2.4.4 and release the last version 5.4.3 from this branch - no new releases are expected for the dependencies. I propose to make the branch EOL after the next release * 5.5.x (Karaf 2.4.3, Camel 2.15.5, CXF 3.0.6, ActiveMQ 5.12.1) - I'm going to upgrade to Karaf 2.4.4 and ActiveMQ 5.12.2 and release the version 5.5.3. Here we can still expect the new Camel releases so we should still maintain this branch * 5.x (Karaf 2.4.3, Camel 2.16.1, CXF 3.1.4, ActiveMQ 5.12.1) - I'm going to upgrade to Karaf 2.4.4, ActiveMQ 5.12.2 and Camel 2.16.2 (under the vote) and release the 5.6.0. Here we can still expect some releases for Camel and ActiveMQ so we should maintain this branch as long we have new releases for the dependencies. I propose to stop the further maintenance of ServiceMix 5 with EOL of ServiceMix 5.6.x (the 5.x branch). We should focus then only on ServiceMix 6 and 7 (which should be already a stable version). We should also advice people to migrate to ServiceMix 6 or 7.
