Re: Dropping support for Qpid Proton <= 0.6

Damian Maguire <d.maguire@...>
 

No objections here, removing support for the older versions makes sense and should help reduce the overhead of supporting the middleware. I also think we should be pretty aggressive in deprecating support in the future, especially for versions which are known to have major issues.

Cheers,

Hi Folks,

Last call on this - if I hear no objections within a week, I'll be removing 0.5 and 0.6 support from CI and removing the backwards compatibility macros from the code.

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Folks,

I am planning on dropping support for Qpid Proton 0.5 and 0.6 in the next OpenMAMA release and instead sticking to versions 0.7+. Those guys move quickly and make small changes to interfaces and header names fairly regularly so keeping up with new releases without breaking older versions is fairly tricky, and something I'd like to at least limit.

Also, they had some compiler warnings in one of their headers when our strict parsing was enabled in 0.5 that wasn't fixed until 0.7 (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-420), so dropping support for all versions prior to 0.7 will mean we can turn -Werror back on without breaking older builds.

If anyone has any objections to this, please respond.

Cheers,
Frank
