Hi there,
I'm planning to officially end-of-life Jackrabbit Oak 1.4 next week (see
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9427>).
This is the last maintenance branch supporting Java 7.
Users of 1.4 are encouraged to switch to a platform compatible with Java
8 (or newer) - the latest stable release is 1.40.0; the latest
maintenance branch (essentially feature-frozen) is 1.22, with the
current release being 1.22.8.
What it'll mean in actual actions:
links will be removed from the download page
news will be posted on the homepage
[announce] will be sent to jr-user, jr-dev, oak-dev
branch and tags WILL stay there
label "candidate_oak_1_4" will be removed
