Commons Lang 3.0 status
September 6th, 2009 by Hen(From mailing list email)
Thought I’d share the status of Lang 3.0.
- 65 resolved issues out of 131. Basically around 50% of the way there.
- 65 contributors involved, with 55 patches and 340 comments. Thanks to everyone out there for the work so far.
- First commit on 25 Mar 2008, so about 18 months along now. That was one week after the last release (2.4).
Ideally… March 2010 would be a great time to see 3.0 come out. 
I’ve started moving some issues to 3.x that don’t have anything actionable. Things like “Maybe add a RegexUtils?” etc. Basically ideas.
There’s one JDK 1.6 dependent issue in there. WIth a circa March 2010 release, I think that’s a fine dependency given that 1.5 goes end of life in Nov 2008.
There are a good range of simple and complex issues in there to work on.
