2.1 can stay supported as long as people support it ;-) Former colleagues of mine are still maintaining 2.1 apps that I created a few years ago, without any problems, and I'm sure many people are doing the same. If we had a need to fix something in it, we'd do it - and I encourage all 2.1 users to do the same, committers can fix things directly and contributors can submit patches. Nobody said 2.1 is dead, it is clearly (IMHO) in maintenance mode. Unlike commercial software, there's no requirement for anyone to move to 2.2, 3.0 or anything if you're happy with 2.1 - or prepared to contribute to fixing it where needed. Even if the Apache Cocoon project decided to freeze the 2.1 branch (which I would strongly oppose), the Apache License allows 2.1 users to grab the code and start maintaining it elsewhere. As the focus has shifted to 2.2 and 3.x, what you should not expect is people adding new features to 2.1...but what new features would you need anyway? I think 2.1 is stable both in terms of working reliably and it terms of providing a well defined set of useful features. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@cocoon.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@cocoon.apache.org
