Hi ho folks!

I created the 2.6 branch, and also tagged 2.6.2 in the repository. The trunk is now open for 2.8 stuff.

I will make the 2.6.2 release later, either today or tomorrow. I have some connectivity issues...

A couple of rules towards 2.8, to remind you of the discussions that we've had previously:

* The goal if 2.8 is to be an apachified version of 2.6 (with bug fixes and the odd functionality upgrade).

* Java 5 code is now allowed - however, please do not modify public APIs. 2.8 needs to be compatible with the 2.x series. But feel free to refactor an odd loop or two.

* All code must now be licensed under Apache 2.0 license. All new files should have the new copyright.

* Code needs also to be attributed to the ASF - so no more @author - tags.

* IMPORTANT! We need to double-check each source file that we actually can move the copyright. We can't go and just blanket-change all files from LGPL to ASF, because I have not yet been confirmed that all necessary agreements have been received by the ASF. So, if you start changing the copyright preambles, please double-check with the list at jspwiki.org (ApacheRelicensing page) that the persons mentioned in the source code have actually been confirmed as having the CLA on file (the @author tags will come in handy). If you are uncertain, leave it be, and we'll get back to those later on.
