I was looking through the jira items for validator. I see one item that looks like it would be necessary for a Validator 2.X release, VALIDATOR-390, for updating to Commons Collections 4. I see a relatively recent PR, https://github.com/apache/commons-validator/pull/53, for that though. I know that breaks binary compatibility an would therefore require a new Validator 2 release. Since it looks like there is momentum for that, is the plan to accept that PR? Or is a different solution necessary for that?
One other thing is that I believe the convention is for new major releases to bump the version in the package name, refactoring from "org.apache.commons.validator" to "org.apache.commons.validator2", correct? I am not seeing a jira item for that. Did I miss it? Would it be helpful for me to create a PR with that refactoring? Thanks, Josh. -----Original Message----- From: Gary D.
