[java-gnome-hackers] Release imminent

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

It's about time we did a java-gnome 4.0.14 release.

If you care about API additions, etc then grab current 'mainline' and
do:

$ bzr diff -r tag:v.4.0.13

and of course:

$ bzr log -r tag:v4.0.13..

will tell you in gory detail :)

Srichand has alerted us to a really hair problem to do with some Java
implementations being unable to differentiate between deprecated inner
interface Button.CLICKED and the replacement Button.Clicked. This is
mildly extraordinary.

Since these deprecations have been in place for well over a year [and
with assertions enabled you can't even use the code paths in question],
I'm willing to see the old code removed. The discussion just before
4.0.13 about API versions applies again, and although I was going to
remove this code when we bumped to 4.1, I'm not otherwise that worried
about it; no one with public code is using the old signatures and so I
think we can stick with 4.0

When we decide about this I'll cut a release candidate tarball.

If someone wants a bit of an easy challenge, maybe they could have a go
on the 'deprecated-2.16' work? See:
