Hence I didn't bother to create a separate proposal document but instead Guillaume and me have prepared changes for the API and the spec already. You can find the GitHub pull requests at [2] and [3], respectively.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking of changes to the API sources, we also increased the Java version to 8, bumped the project version to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT and we've prepared a change for BVAL-486 [4] which is about not going through the provider resolver if a specific provider type is passed into bootstrapping via Validation#byProvider(). This was a tad inconvenient when e.g. explicitly bootstrapping the RI under OSGi, where you still had to provide a specific provider resolver.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Please let me know if you have any concerns or other remarks on any of these by the end of the week.
