[jetty-users] Jetty Release Plan for 9.4.x and 10.0.x

[Greg Wilkins <gregw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

We've been putting a lot of goodness into the master branch of Jetty:

• New sessions implementation
• HTTP/2 improvements (flow control, interleaving)
• Error page handling (better spec compliance for async requests)

But to date we have not had firm/explicit release plans, nor had we decided where we would land features such as:

• Servlet 4.0
• next websocket spec
• Configuration changes  

So we now have come up with a release plan, that unless we receive howls of complaint will be enacted:

1. The master branch will be forked to a jetty-9.4.x branch with it's current feature set.
2. A 9.4.0.M0 release will be made in the next week, RC releases next month with the plan for a GA release end of the quarter!
3. master branch will be updated to build 10.0.0-SNAPSHOT
4. Servlet 4.0, websocket and config changes will happen in 10.0.x
5. We would expect 10.0.0-M0 releases toward the end of the calendar year

We plan to create the 9.4.x branch by the end of the week, but will first re-review the outstanding pull requests to merge anything that should be merged against master first.

cheers
