My pleasure .... and I agree with marking the components.  I was working
hard to track down what matters, but then ultimately it was easier to
just start updating everything :-)

And I haven't used the XMLRPC service since around 2003 when I had to
talk to an old piece of software to deliver shipping labels. ha! I have
no use for it now though.

Happy to report I just migrated a fairly large app to the turbine-5.0
code base with pretty minimal effort.  The main things to watch out for
was to make sure all configuration was updated to commons-configuration2
and the changes to Part/FileItem I sent to the user list.  Other than
that, it seems to be working like a charm!

I also just pushed another set of changes to github to update the mysql
database driver to latest (8.0.12).  The only real issue I ran into
there was the additional parameter required for setting the
serverTimezone - I made this a configuration on the archetype when
setting up a new project (and set UTC as default).

Finally, I am not sure how much work is involved to update to torque-4.1
(or when it will be released), but so far all is still working fine with
torque-4.0

I was fortunate to have a couple days of downtime, so I dug back in. I
was inspired again after attending ApacheCon NA last week.  Even though
my talk was not accepted, I did a lighting talk "Apache Turbine Isn't
Dead" - I got some great comments after, but I did hear from a number of
people that they thought it was dead :-/

If you want to watch my talk, it is posted here:

My part starts around 16:55
