Enough relaxation??

[Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>]

Gang,
after the release we seem to have taken a short vacation.

And in my book, there are a lot of things to be done, of varying order of
complexity.

One thing that surfaced on Incubator list today, was that ASF pays for Jar
signing that is provided by Symantec's service. I am checking whether our
100s of jars will be an issue, but assuming not, I think we should
incorporate that in the release build process (automated of course).

I think I will slowly start to replace Functional and IO packages with the
Java 8 functional and stream APIs. That is a lot of coding, but not overly
complex, and will take a while.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEST-109 is the umbrella for all the
large things planned for 3.0.

Happy Coding

I think I am about halfway by now;
  a. Function and Function2 completely replaced
  b. Specification replaced with Predicate
  c. A big chunk of Iterables done, but still working to sort that out.

On point a and b, it was clean enough to simply replace them, and I have
commits locally that I think are clean and built properly. I have not
pushed that yet. You want it?

On point c, I started with replacing HasTypes.types() method, and that
snowballed a lot of derivative changes needed, since it is all tied
together with the Functions to work with those types. So, still fighting
that. Will report back a bit later today on it.

Hey Niclas,

I did, and it was good :)
One week of gardening, dry-stone building and hiking in mountains and
forests.
Batteries now loaded!

Indeed.

Sounds promising.

Moving from Iterables to Streams will help guarantee they are consumed
once. Iterables can be consumed several times, Streams can't. Maybe
there're some places where Iterables will be more appropriate.

I'll be putting some effort on 3.0 starting next week.

Happy Coding!
