Timeline for next release?

DEVELOPMENT
1

I’m one of the maintainers of the Micrometer project, which uses the BND Gradle plugin. We’re currently blocked on upgrading our build to Gradle 9 waiting for a version of the BND Gradle plugin compatible with Gradle 9 to be released. I believe the issues have already been fixed, but a new version containing those fixes has not been released yet. Is there any timeframe for when you plan to do the next release? Thanks in advance.

We are in the process of doing 7.2.0 RC1 as I type. More infos as soon as it is consumable. Then a few more days and we will push final 7.2.0.

Bnd 7.2.0-RC1 is ready for testing: Bnd / Bndtools 7.2.0-RC1 is ready for testing

Thank you for releasing that. I upgraded to it on our branch with the Gradle 9 upgrade. We seem to be past the Gradle compatibility issues there, so that’s good. Our build job targeting JDK 11 has a failure, but I don’t have time to look into it now. We may just need to disable our osgi tests on the build targeting 11.

Thanks for the info.
Not sure about JDK11 (bnd requires JDK17 minimum).

But since you mentioned tests there has been a first report regarding tests:

TLDR: Junit Platform max. supported version is 1.12 (Junit BOM 5.12.2)

Just a heads up there is RC3 available: Bnd / Bndtools 7.2.0-RC3 is ready for testing

Would be nice to give it another test run.

Thanks

I think you’re aware from the activity in the pull request in Micrometer, but I’ll comment here also to say our build is passing with Gradle 9 and BND 7.2.0-RC3 after pinning the JUnit version to 5.12 for our osgi test modules. Thanks for the work making this available. We’re looking forward to the final release when it’s ready.

Yes, but thanks for the heads up. Also good for others to know.

There are some last tasks regarding our Sonatype and JFrog deployments, but we hope to resolve them soon.
