Can a new version be released？

[wajncn]

The latest version is

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.quickfixj/quickfixj-core -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.quickfixj</groupId>
    <artifactId>quickfixj-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

But.... master branch many bugs have been fixed . so, can you release a new version。

[chrjohn]

Please do not open issues for such general questions. Converting to discussion.

[chrjohn]

Currently still working on some issues for 3.0.0.
Have no ETA, sorry. Can't you build a version on your own?
Might have some overlaps with #769

[wajncn]

I think the master branch should be consistent with the released version

[d5lewis]

It would be very useful to even tag a new release on top of the QFJ_2_3_X branch so we can update to mina-core 2.2.x

[JamesTreasure]

Agreed would be very useful. We currently have a bug in QFJ (technically in MINA) and the problematic code looks to no longer exist in the newer versions of MINA so hoping this would fix it.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-1159

@JamesTreasure are you sure that it no longer exists? Looking at https://github.com/apache/mina/blob/2.2.X/mina-core/src/main/java/org/apache/mina/proxy/filter/ProxyFilter.java I can still see the affected classes.

[JamesTreasure]

Ah my mistake, I meant I could no longer find it on trunk as the Proxy package doesn't even seem to exist anymore but guess that doesn't really help me.

[chrjohn]

Trunk is not the version to be released. It is in the 2.2.x branch.
Would you be able to test if a new QFJ release with the current MINA fixes the issue?

[lopesgon]

Same need here! We had a bug while migrating to Java 17 and Kubernetes certainly due to Apache Mina dependency. We didn't not managed to confirm exactly where failure is occurring but upgrading to the latest minor 2.1.x of mina-core fixed our issue.

It would be great to have a new release available instead of playing with dependency exclusion to fix it 😄

[noblemaster]

Could this also be merged before a new release is built (appears to be ready)? MR: Enhancement: First field in repeating group as delimiter

Also yes, we would also like to have a new release. I can help out also if there is the need for additional help? Not sure how to go about it though?

[chrjohn]

Hi @noblemaster , problem with #674 is that it has conflicts since other PRs have been merged before. Especially #831 which introduced a new class ValidationSettings.
Help is always welcome, if you could look at PRs and review them that is always helpful.
Re new release: I doubt that 3.0.0 can be released this year due to other project work. A 2.3.2 release might work (but only with the MINA changes), but not sure at the moment. :-/

[noblemaster]

Let me discuss with my team: I should be able to re-do #674 with the new ValidationSettings. Given it was last updated in 2023, I'll assume no one is working on it at the moment? Is that OK? I'll should be able to have it ready by end of next week.

For the 3.0.0, begin of next year (Jan. or Feb.) would be nice. Is that realistic?

[chrjohn]

OK, sounds good. Maybe it makes sense to ask the creator of that PR if he has the time to do it. Just to avoid that one of you spends their time in vain.
Edit: Feb sounds more realistic than Jan. ;) The current project has a timeframe until end of the year, so it should be easier after that.

[noblemaster]

February would be nice! I sent a message to the creator of the original PR. I'll try to get started next week unless I hear back... 👍
