Re: [glassfish-dev] Plan for GlassFish 7.1.0
Hi,

Focus on 7.1 as the stable version in the 7.x series sounds like a good plan to me. It shouldn't be super long until we can think about a 8.0 release. 

Meanwhile there's actually some demand for a 9.0 already to test and incorporate the Jakarta EE 12 components which are being developed (e.g. Faces 5 is quite far).

In that context having 7.0.x releases only when abslutely necessary seems like a given.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms

Hi to all developers of Eclipse GlassFish!

Some time ago I created this topic on the GitHub: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/discussions/25225

Time is running fast and we have to keep the tempo. Before I created this discussion, I tried to check the ground for this direction and it seems solid. In between we had to implement some conflicting changes, but I will rebase the "bootstrap" PR this week and then again after we finish with the ORB segment, which is important especially for JDK23 support and GlassFish 8. However we will try to integrate it into the master branch first as it has complete TCK already available.

The direction of GlassFish is in general to keep standards of the JDK and keep the tempo of its evolution, resolve security issues, etc. The most complicated thing is adopting JPMS, however it is related also with the logging configuration which was always problematic part of GlassFish.

As these changes are rather large and could be breaking changes, my idea is this:

* Start development of 7.1.0 in master this week

* Release 7.0.23 in standard time by the end of February. It will contain just changes cherrypicked from master (including the SSH node refactor, which is quite large)

* Release 7.0.24 just if required

* Release 7.1.0 by the end of April

Questions and comments are welcome.

Thank you all for your contributions!
