The first release candidate, 2.13.0-rc1, of Jackson was just released. I am trying to add notes on:
https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/issues/83 for the release process; included changes should be listed on: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.13 (let me know what is missing, or, if you have access, feel free to add entries from individual repos' release notes) At this point I do not plan on working on major new features -- some I hoped to include are postponed until 2.14 as I haven't really had enough time to spend on Jackson due to work, life in general -- but rather the focus is on trying to make 2.13 release as bug-free and backwards-compatible as possible. Fixes to all kinds of issues are welcome, of course. But the one thing that everyone could help with is validation of compatibility, reporting compatibility issues found -- especially those between 2.12.4 (recently released) and 2.13.0-rc1. This is the time when regressions are easiest to address, and I feel we have made some progress over recent minor releases: compatibility issues seemed more common around Jackson 2.4 - 2.7 area, and despite increase in number of modules, usage, I feel there are not quite as many issues lately. And these improvements are mostly due to participation of the larger community: so anyone, if you can run a test suite on the system you develop, using the latest release candidate, that'd be very helpful. Let's squash the annoying little regression bugs before they make their way into .0 release!
