I don't think we should be publishing general rules to the GWT website, since in practice we won't consider ourselves bound to them. At this point I think we're in general agreement that IE6/7 will be dropped after GWT 2.6 and the rest is still being discussed.
Dropping Java 6 support doesn't seem particularly urgent, but it will be one less thing to test. I could see us dropping it either before or just after the spring release. - Brian On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 7:50 AM, Thomas Broyer <t.bro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Tuesday, October 8, 2013 3:31:09 PM UTC+2, Paul Robinson wrote: >> >> This discussion has covered what the general rules for dropping support >> for browsers, APIs and JVMs should be.
