Upgrading Jackrabbit

[Josh Kennedy <jo...@meltmedia.com>]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has or knows what will be involved in  
upgrading Sling to use Jackrabbit 1.6.  According to the Jackrabbit  
site there are multiple performance improvements in the 1.6 version,  
and I would like to be able to take advantage of the changes.  However  
I was wondering where on the time line this upgrade currently exits in  
Sling, and if there are any problems when integrating the new  
version.  Any feedback would be very appreciated, thanks.

I found this blog post overviewing some of the potential gains in  
performance Jackrabbit 1.6 would bring to query performance:

It looks like SLING-769 [1] was tracking the upgrade to 1.5, but I  
can't find a 1.6 upgrade task. I'm a +1 for an effort to upgrade  
slings 1.5 Jackrabbit to version to 1.6.
