Hi all, I think we can do document R7 as the baseline in the Javadoc overview page. This will evolve as each version is released and we can track the most important requirement: the Java platform. Some people will also want to know the Android API version but that's a hard one to finally out unless Android has a tool for that.
For more compelling arguments to stay on R7, see comments from laeubi : https://github.com/apache/commons-parent/pull/676#pullrequestreview-3375101757 Gary On Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 04:49 Piotr P.
