I may be offering an opinion on something already decided, but it seems to me that if we change the constructors in an earlier release, and then go to Java 1.5 on a subsequent release, if that makes maintenance of two versions easier (post-1.5 and pre-1.5) easier. Advantages:
(1) Less future work for the developers means faster improvement to Wicket in the long run. (2) The applications produced by users who cannot upgrade to 1.5 yet will be easier to upgrade when they finally can do so -- the obsolete user code they're accumulating won't be quite so obsolete. (3) The inconvenience of upgrading user code in two phases (for those who have no impediments to using Java 1.5 now) is a transitory problem. Of course, one could make this argument about any code-breaking change to the API, delaying the upgrade to Java 1.5 indefinitely. But I'm assuming that the constructor changes are an unusually severe break in the API. /Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eelco Hillenius Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 10:15 AM To: wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: Results so far (was Re: [Wicket-user] VOTE) I agree with Johan here. I want to start discussing it on the admin list shortly. But it looks like there are enough for 2 - not the majority, but enough - to make seperate releases. We should decide on whether 1.2. (we might call that version differently actually, but that's another question) or 1.3. is going to be our long running supported version. I think the latter, and 1.2. based on requests, but we have yet to discuss that. Btw Jonathan's vote was #2 - he sent me that offline. We'll give you an update later this week or this weekend. Thanks for voting all!
