next GL version?

Hey Glaziers,

now that 1.8 is real, I just wanted to ask for your opinion
what the next version should be (1.9 vs. 2.0) ?

If we're directly heading for a 2.0 release, we should probably
create a 1.x branch for bugfixes.

Initial ideas for a 2.0 could be:
- drop migration kit and other deprecated code
- drop JDK 1.4 support (Sun J2SE 1.4.x EOL is October 30th, 2008)
- fully exploit JDK 1.5 capabilities throughout the code base
- make other changes that could break compatibility but are worth
the effort, for example removing automatic proxy wrapping in the
model adapter classes
...

On the other side, a 1.9 release could also make sense to
- finish some work that's not yet completed (providing deleted element for example)
- add minor new features without breaking compatibility
- review code base and deprecate things we want to change or drop in 2.0

What do you think?

Holger
