Re: Alpha 2 release of ASM 6

Hi Remi,

Is there any update on the Alpha2 release of ASM 6?

Also is there any inclination on supporting ASM 6 on Java 8? When the
"Module-Name" header actually won't be supported, tooling like the one
I'm working on will be the only way for library authors for mandating
a Jigsaw module name, if they don't want to move to Java 9 yet. Hence
being able to use ASM 6 on Java 8 would be great.

Thanks for any update,

--Gunnar
