HIGHSOURCE PROJECT STATUS UPDATE #134

Open mattrpav opened 2 years ago

mattrpav commented 2 years ago

2022/04/26 update:

v0.13.1 has been released. Moving forward to v2.3.x and v3.x (jakarta support). Please open GitHub issues moving forward.

2022/04/04 update:

I added a GitHub Action to auto-build on PR's and pushes. Moving GitHub issues and milestones will be used to track project progress.

Release plans:

  1. Plan to release an artificially low version number to confirm end-to-end via Maven Central.
  2. Plan to review open items and release a 0.14.0 for those looking for fixes on 0.14.x.
  3. Plan to release a new version as v2.0.0 to align with Jakarta v2.x dependencies (this will probably be 1 release only and be closely aligned with v0.14.1) -- this will also help overcome the v1.1.1 that is in Maven Central by mistake
  4. Plan to release new versions as v3.x and align with Jakarta v3.x dependencies going forward.

All work will continue out of the highsource/jaxb2-basics repo.

2022/03/25 update:

Progress! The named successor has been able to add me as a contributor to highsource. We are coordinating on how to move forward. Stay tuned-- hope to generate the first test release in the next two weeks.

2022/03/01 update:

I have made contact with GitHub developer relations folks, and they are assisting with moving this forward. Also, the named successor is working to assist in getting this resolved.

== Previous update ==

I have confirmed with Aleksei's wife that he passed away last January. My thoughts were that it would be best to continue updates under the 'highsource' org. Give Aleksei a solid for the work he did over the years, and provide consistency to users.

I opened a death transfer request with GitHub 2 weeks ago to gain some level of access to the repositories to continue Aleksei's work out under 'highsource'. GitHub's support team is notably behind and has not responded despite several requests for updates.

I plan to give GitHub another few days to respond before looking to next steps.

About me-- I am a long time open source contributor and Apache committer. Professionally, I head up the technical side at HYTE and we have resources we can put to updating the Maven JAXB2 Plugin and jaxb2-basics.

Message from his wife:

Aleksei passed away on 16.1.2021. 

https://good-bye.org/alexey-valikov/

He would be so proud to know that his projects live after his death. 

If you can overtake some projects, that would be great.

Thanks, Matt

v0.13.1 has been released and includes all previously unreleased changes. I'm now moving forward on to v2.3.6 and then v3.x to start the jakarta transition

Hi @mattrpav, has any work been progressed on the jakarta transition. This is now particularly relevant now Spring Boot 3 is out which has moved to jakarta and Java 17?

Thanks
