Hi there,
I'm planning to officially end-of-life Jackrabbit Oak 1.8 in two weeks
(see <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10075>):
Users of Oak 1.8.* need to switch to a platform compatible with Java 8
(or newer) - the latest stable release is 1.50.0 (requiring Java 11);
the latest maintenance branch supporting Java 8 (essentially
feature-frozen) is 1.22, with the current release being 1.22.15.
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_8" will be removed
See also http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/roadmap.html
If you have any concerns speak out before May 9.
Best regards, Julian
