Re: 10.12.1 release

Hi, Rick,

In September 2014 the PMC voted to sunset support for Java SE 6 in Derby 
10.13 and announce it, as required, at the preceding release, Derby 
10.12. Do you want to create a 10.12 task for that?

(I'm glad to see that a 10.12 release is in the works. Thanks for doing 
this!)

Thanks,
Kim

Hi Mike,

I am in favor of sunsetting support for Java 7. Either 10.13 or 10.14 
could be the last release family which runs on Java 7.

Thanks,
-Rick

should we announce jdk17 sunset also with the 10.12 release?

Before having formal vote I was wondering if we should announce sunset of jdk17 also in 10.13?  At least
we should discuss.  From the following web site it looks like Oracle has already stopped public updates
of jdk17 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html)

I would predict that there are going to be fewer new releases per year than was originally expected when
the original vote was taken.  Given current work in the community I would assume earliest time frames
for releases would be something like:
10.12 (late 2015) - currently announcing sunset of jdk16
10.13 (late 2016) - sunsetting jdk16
10.14 (late 2017)  - with no vote before 10.12 earliest jdk17 could be sunsetted (based on agreement to give 1 release notice to users
                                    before sunsetting jvm support).

I am just speculating on dates of releases after 10.12 as they are completely dependent on volunteers adding enhancements and doing
the releases.

I would be in favor of  sunsetting jdk17 in 10.13 also, and announcing that in the 10.12 release.  Following a vote by the 
community, but
first wanted to see if there is informal feedback to the contrary.

Thanks for that reminder, Kim. I have noted that we need a deprecation 
notice. See the 10.12.1 release task: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6811

The release-tracking page for 10.12.1 is 
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenTwelveOneRelease
