While we encourage our users to migrate to the new Apache Camel 2.0.0, we recognize that many of you may not be able to do that right away. As a community we discussed the lifetime of the camel-1.x and we agreed to continue support and apply patches and improvements, at least for the foreseable future.

Many thanks to all the contributors who made this release possible.
