Plans to releasen Scalatra 2.0.4 for Scala 2.9.2

[Alf Kristian Støyle]

Hi guys. Just wondering if you are planning to release 2.0.4 for Scala 2.9.2 any time soon?

Or, do you know if there are any issues using scalatra_2.9.1-2.0.4 with Scala 2.9.2?

Cheers,

Alf

If our dependencies all release explicitly for 2.9.2, so will we.
Historically we get stuck waiting on lift-json, which itself has to
wait on many more dependencies as part of the larger Lift project.
Until then, using scalatra_2.9.1 on Scala 2.9.2 is perfectly safe.
You will lose the %% operator in your sbt build, but Scala releases
are forward binary compatible for the same minor version of Scala.

Note: the sbt cross build conventions have been overkill since Scala
2.8.0, which is wy many projects don't follow them. Following
Typesafe's recommendation, we abandoned this naming convention in
Scalatra 2.1.x. The same jar will work for all Scala 2.9.x releases.

Thanks for the quick reply Ross. Kind of figured that was the reason, actually tried to build with 2.9.2, it stopped with specs and specs2 dependencies.

Good to hear there shouldn't be a problem to use the scalatra_2.9.1 with Scala 2.9.2 though.

Keep up the good work! Cheers,

Alf
