@mgajdos will this be released soon?

[jstockdi]

Woohoo! We are excited to see this merge. Any ETA for release?

[mgajdos]

Jersey 1.19 should be released in the next couple of weeks.

hi, we are currently moving (our big) stack to java 8. jersey 1.18 is currently the foundation. do you already have an idea what "next couple of weeks" means?

The plan is to release Jersey 1.19 at the end of this week (or at the start of the next one).

[niesfisch]

@mgajdos: cool, that's good news. thanks for your effort. looking forward to the release. in the meanwhile i try to get everything up und running based on the 1.19-SNAPSHOT version.

i can see that you've checked in version 1.19. how long does it take for the maven repositories to propagate the changes?

[cowwoc]

@niesfisch If Michael published a release to Maven Central, it'll take 2 hours to become publicly visible.

[niesfisch]

@cowwoc ah that means it hasn't been pushed so far? what is your normal process for this? i thought moving to 1.19 means "push" it to the public maven repos?

[mgajdos]

@niesfisch It's already available on Maven Central.
