[VOTE] Dropping Java 1.3 support for Apache XML Graphics (lazy vote)
Considering that we've already talked this to the ground, I would only
like to wrap this up with a vote for record keeping. I propose this to
be a lazy vote as it seems we have a major consensus here, i.e. there's
a 72 hour period for anyone who hasn't spoken up, yet, to place a -1 (veto,
explanation mandatory as always in such a case). If there are no vetoes,
the following project decisions applying to the whole of the Apache XML
Graphics Project become effective:
* Support for Java 1.3 for the Trunk of all our subprojects is dropped.
Java 1.4 becomes the new minimal Java level.
* New releases from the main development branch (usually Trunk) will be
made without support for Java 1.3. Java 1.4 becomes the new minimal Java level.
* When Sun ends the end-of-life process for Java 1.4 next year we will
restart the discussion about dropping support for Java 1.4 and instead
going for Java 1.5.
Thanks,
Jeremias Maerki

Batik’s 1.7 release will still have 1.3 support, but after that we’ll
drop it.

[VOTE:RESULTS] Dropping Java 1.3 support for Apache XML Graphics (lazy vote)
Posted by Jeremias Maerki <de...@jeremias-maerki.ch>.
No objections were recorded for this decision. So, this becomes
effective now. Obviously, Batik is free to finish the release of version
1.7 with Java 1.3 support still in place (just so there are no
misunderstandings).
