+# Roundup May 2021
+:toc: macro
+:toc-title: Here are some quick links for the restless souls among you:
+:toc-class: none
+:toclevels: 1
+
+As always at the start of another new month, let's have a look at what
happened at Hop over the last month. Here's the recap for May 2021!
+
+toc::[]
+
+== Hop 0.99 Release process started
+
+At the very end of the month (on May, 27th), the release process for Hop 0.99
was
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hop-dev/202105.mbox/browser[started],
with a code cutoff point in early June.
+
+Hop 0.99 will be a release candidate for Hop 1.0, which should follow pretty
quickly after the community had some time to test Hop 0.99.
+
+The focus on new functionality was decreased since the Hop 0.70 release in
favor of hardening Hop for a 1.0 release.
+This hardening includes:
+
+* **continued code cleanup and bug hunting**: multiple api cleanups and lots
of plugin dialog cleanups not only make the code cleaner, lighter and easier to
maintain, but also pave the way for future (post Hop 1.0) development.
+* **documentation** has been integrated with the Hop code allows us to have
dedicated documentation per Hop version. The documentation is now considered to
be as good as feature comple. There's always more documentation to write and
update, but we now have a solid base to continue working.
+* **samples**: a first batch of samples is now available in Hop. Just like
with documentation, there will never be enough samples. We will continue
working from this point onwards.
+* the number of **integration tests** continues to grow. More important than
the number of tests: the integration tests continuously prove to be invaluable
in detecting bugs, verifying bug fixes and preventing regressions
+
+All of these were required to make sure Hop 1.0 will be the robust and stable
platform we as a community want to build and use.
+
+Hop 1.0 will follow quite quickly after the 0.99 release. We'll start
implement new functionality again after Hop 1.0. Once Hop 1.0 is released,
we'll also start looking into graduating Hop as an Apache Top Level Project
(TLP).
+
+== Avro Support
+
+Hop now has support for the https://avro.apache.org[Apache Avro] data
serialization system.
+
+*
http://hop.apache.org/manual/latest/pipeline/transforms/avro-decode.html[Avro
Decode]: decode an Avro field and convert to Hop field.
+*
http://hop.apache.org/manual/latest/pipeline/transforms/avro-file-input.html[Avro
File Input]: reads Avro records from one or more files. Each record is
encapsulated in an Avro field. Each value has its own Schema and record.
+* Avro data type
+
+image:/img/Roundup-2021-06/avro.png[Avro transforms, width="65%",
align="left", link="/img/Roundup-2021-06/avro.png"]
+
+== Various
+
+* Single click is now the default option in Hop Gui. Single click on a
transform or action icon to open the available actions and operations for that
transform or action. Single click on an action or transform name to open its
properties.
+* open a pipeline from a pipeline action in a workflow through
CTRL-SHIFT-Click on the action's icon
+
+== 3Hx (Hot Hop Hangout) Sessions
+
+We had one 3Hx session in May:
https://www.meetup.com/3hx-apache-hop-incubating-hot-hop-hangouts/events/278103629[3H7
- End-to-end pipelines with testing, logging, monitoring and best practices].

+## Community
+
+=== Hop Mailing lists
+
+Don't forget to subscribe to our mailto:[email protected][dev] and
mailto:[email protected][users] mailing lists!
+These mailing lists allow us to discuss and make decisions in a process that
is as transparent and inclusive as possible, and as such are an important tool
in our communication as an Apache project.
+
+The dev and user lists currently _only_ have 29 and 20 subscribers
respectively. We can do better, Hop Community!
+
+Subscribing is as easy as sending an empty email by clicking the links below:
+
+* mailto:[email protected][users]: general how-to and
functionality questions. Ask us anything!
+* mailto:[email protected][dev]: developer discussions. There's a
lot of informal discussion going on in our https://chat.project-hop.org[chat
channels], but decisions that matter are taken on the dev list!
+
+
+=== Hop Community
+
+The Hop community continues to grow:
+
+* chat: 181 registered members (up from 170)

+Check out the link:/community/team/[complete list] of committers and
contributors.
+
+Without community contribution, Hop is just a coding club! Please feel free to
join, participate in the discussion, test, file bug tickets on the software or
documentation, ... Contributing is a lot more than writing code.
