Jetty Road Map  

Stable Series: Jetty 4.2.x

This is the current stable series of Jetty since November 2002. Development is continuing on this series for stability, increased integration and extensions such as: The code of 4.2.x is in the Jetty_4_2 branch of CVS.

Development Series: Jetty 5.0.x

The servlet specication 2.4 will final in Q4 2003. The 2.4 spec is pretty incremental on the 2.3 spec, so this will be an evolution rather than revolution. The Jetty 5 series is an moderate increment of the 4.2 series, which already had much of the required infrastructure for the 2.4 specification. This will allow a stable Jetty 5.0 to be release soon after the final specification.

Jetty 5.0 is currently in alpha release and the latest code is available in the CVS HEAD.

Experimental Series

The JettyExperimental CVS contains experimental code for a new HTTP layer for Jetty. The code is close to providing a fully HTTP/1.1 compliant stack meeting the following aims:

The code is close to a first release of a HTTP stack in Q4 2003. Only once the HTTP stack is stable and tested, will servlets be considered for main release. Jetty 5.1 is the likely target in Q1 2004.
