Would be awesome with a separate Jetty 10 version too :)

@henrik242 what purpose would that serve when we're already supporting Jetty 11?

[henrik242]

@tomakehurst Jetty 10 uses javax.*, Jetty 11 uses jakarta.*, they're otherwise functionally identical. So if I need to use wiremock with a dependency that depends on Jetty 10 (such as Solr 9.2) I won't be able to use wiremock. (I've created a branch of the 3.0.0-beta for myself for this exact purpose.)

[tomakehurst]

And switching to the standalone version isn't helping you here?

[oleg-nenashev]

@henrik242 Also https://github.com/wiremock/wiremock-testcontainers-java as an option. It is far from feature parity with WireMock, but it will keep improving. If I know the use-cases you implement, I think we could look into that together

I'm a big wiremock fan, thanks for a great tool 🍻

I'm just adding wiremock to yet another project and I'm not sure which version to choose. Would be helpful to have a list of compatibility breaking changes or even better, a migration guide, so I can estimate the cost of starting with 2.x and migrating later.

[oleg-nenashev]

@bennyorca You can see a list of already integrated and upcoming compatibility breaking changes in https://github.com/orgs/wiremock/projects/5/views/1 . I marked all of them breaking. It might happen there are more coming up, but I would not expect too many

My recommendation would be to start from the current 3.0.0 Beta which is also stable enough IMHO

FTR the release bits are out. We will be doing the announcements in a few days after the release is considered stable. https://github.com/orgs/wiremock/projects/5 is used to track subsequent issues and regressions
