[weld-dev] Potential Weld maintenance release

Hello Weld devs, I am under the understanding that the next Weld release will be Weld 1.2, with potential SPI changes. I am writing to ask about the possibility of more frequent weld maintenance releases, using the same SPI. This would greatly benefit the Seam 3.0 release, as there are a couple of modules that currently do not work as expected due to bugs in Weld. Specifically: WELD-846 - Incorrect handling of cyclic dependencies between BeanDeploymentArchives causes: SEAMFACES-82, no injection in JSF Converters/Validators WELD-833 - ConcurrentModificationException while deactivating conversations renders Seam Wicket unusable and potentially: WELD-855 - Error while catching NonexistentConversationException with Seam Faces/Catch causes: SEAMCATCH-46 Some of these issues have been already resolved in Weld, and can be worked around by using a Weld SNAPSHOT. However, it is probable that more issues will arise as more people start using Seam 3, and a quick turnaround on Weld releases would help greatly with user acceptance of Seam 3. It would also bode well for containers that were quick to adopt the Weld maintenance releases. If there is any more details I can provide, or further strengthening of the above arguments, please let me know. Regards, Brian Leathem Seam Faces - Module Lead
