ACS AEM Commons 6.0.0 Planning

ACS Commons v5.1.2 removed Critical Cloud Manager violations (due to use of @ProvideTypes) negating the need for more complex splitting of the ACS AEM Commons Project into 6.5.

ACS AEM Commons 6.0.0 release approach

• Identify ACS Commons features marked as deprecated
  • Remove these features for AEM 6.0.0. Ensure there are no inter-feature dependencies.
• Identify any other features that violate BPA (Best Practice Analyzer)
  • Review and determine if they should be removed in 6.0.0, or updated to not violate BPA
  • Exception is the user of /etc/..
• AEM 6.0.0 should attempt to be backward compat with AEM 5.x.x with the exception of full feature removal
  • Exceptions to this will be reviewed on a one-off basis.

Features

This table lists features, and which artifact set they will reside in (AEM CS vs Classic vs Removed entirely)
