Hi, There were few discussions about this some months ago, e.g. https://lists.apache.org/thread/bd39zhk655pgzfctq763vp3z4xrjpx58 I think everyone agreed that 1.12.0 could be bumped to Java 11+! https://lists.apache.org/thread/b8d7cjywz6mpj81bhbx5tz6flbvwzsdk - here Niels even suggested to bump the version to 2.0.0, but since Avro is multi-language repo I don't think changing the version to 2.x for all langs makes sense. Users of Java 8 will have to stay with 1.11.x. There was another discussion at dev@ about maintaining both branches for some time.
