[ANNOUNCE] Apache Jackrabbit Oak 1.2 retired

[Julian Reschke <re...@apache.org>]

Dear users of Apache Jackrabbit,

the Apache Jackrabbit Team has decided to drop support and deprecate the 
1.2 branch of Apache Jackrabbit Oak. Branch, tags and releases will 
still be available for future references, but will not show up on the 
download page anymore.

Users who can move to Java 8 should switch to the latest stable release 
(currently 1.38.0). Users who can move to Java 7 can switch to Oak 
1.6.20, with the caveat that this branch will require Java 8 with the 
next release (1.6.21). In general, users are encouraged to switch to a 
platform compatible with Java 8 (or newer). See the downloads page for 
more details.

See <https://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/downloads.html>, 
<https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/roadmap.html> and 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/9349> for further information.

Best regards, Julian
