Hi all, As we are getting very close to releasing our new stable 2.2.0 version, I have as usual started to plan for the next release. It's always a great moment to reflect on the project recent accomplishments and future direction.
The overall goal is to develop a version 2.3 providing enhancements on top of current 2.2 branch in order to keep Restlet Framework on the edge of the most important innovations in the Java and Web API worlds. Below is a road map proposal. Please share your thoughts!
