When will 4.2 become stable ?
Hi All, and in particular James,
In a previous post
(http://www.nabble.com/Active-MQ-4.2-tf3396877s2354.html#a9457615), you have
mentioned that 4.2 was going to be made stable in a month or so (mid March
07).
What is the latest on this ?
I have also read that the 4.2 branch was potentially going to become a 5.x
version (that a Feb07 post mind you). I assumed when reading that statement
that 4.2 would not actually be made stable. Although your later post (above)
seems to indicate the opposite, I am still unsure as to whether we should be
going for 4.2 or 4.1.1. Obviously, we prefer to go with stable cuts.
I would like to go with 4.2, mainly because of the WEB Console functionality
in there.
Many thanks,
DomG.

Yes - 4.2/5.0 is currently based on Java 5 so we can take advantage of
the better java.util.concurrent support. For folks stuck on 1.4 we can
use retrotranslator to convert the jars (or folks can install the
retrotranslator JIT to silently work with any Java 5 code).

thanks for the quick reply.
Are you saying that when 4.2/5.0 becomes stable it will require Java 5 ?

We'll certainly make sure they are working before we ship 4.2. Note
that both .Net and C++ also support Stomp which is better at dealing
with version changes than OpenWire.

James, does it mean that it is impossible to use 4.2 with the current
client implementations, for example - .NET and C++ clients?

I've been using 4.2 a fair bit and its pretty much stable now. There's
most of the features in it that are going to be there; just a few
things to add before getting ready for the next major release.

Yeah - thats just a rename really as 4.2 is not backwards compatible
with 4.1 clients in OpenWire (its a new OpenWire version) and along
with the move to Java 5, the 4.2 release will be renamed 5.0 I think

Yeah I hear you. If you're in development you might wanna go with 4.2
as it should be out in a month or two - but if you are in production
you probably wanna stick on 4.1.1 for a few months until the 4.2/5.0
release is out.
