Pool Road Map

Releases

Pool 1.3

There are a number of important fixes which have been committed. Therefore, cutting a 1.3 release makes sense.

Pool 2

This will not fully compatible with the Pool 1.x releases. This has been necessitated by some recent changes to semantics. Areas with the code contracts defined in interfaces is loosely defined or unnecessary allows methods to return a variety of responses with the same meaning will be changed to more user friendly behavior. This release will take advantage of Java 1.4 features.

Pool 3

This may break API compatibility for implementations of pools but shouldn't affect client code using pools. Mostly the exceptions declared in the interfaces that is no longer needed because of behavior changes in Pool 2 will be removed. This release probably will take advantage of Java 5 (aka: 1.5) features.

Performant Implementations

The current implementations concentrate on stability and robustness rather than performance. Pool 2 will introduce new implementations geared towards performance.
