Hi Folks, Any other updates/comments before I submit our latest board report? (Due next week)
Thanks, Paul. ===============>8============== ## Description: Apache Groovy is responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the Groovy programming language ## Issues: No issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Groovy was founded 2015-11-18 (6 years ago) There are currently 20 committers and 11 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Eric Milles on 2020-11-20. - No new committers. Last addition was Mikko Värri on 2020-06-03. ## Project Activity: Our main goal for this quarter was the release of Groovy 4.0. Groovy 4 includes a range of new features including switch expressions, sealed types, records, language integrated query and much more! All up there are about 800 new features, improvements and bug fixes since Groovy 3 which was released just under a year ago. Special thanks go to the 80+ contributors for this release and everyone involved in the Groovy community and broader ecosystem. We will continue to work with the community on any issues with Groovy 4 and any needed bug fixes for earlier Groovy versions. We have yet to give much attention to our roadmap for Groovy 5 but that will get some attention soon once activity around the recent Groovy 4 release has settled down and we complete some backporting of fixes to earlier versions and other housekeeping tasks which were stalled as we prepared for Groovy 4. Recent releases: 4.0.0 was released on 2022-01-28. 4.0.0-rc-2 was released on 2021-12-27. 4.0.0-rc-1 was released on 2021-11-30. 4.0.0-beta-2 was released on 2021-11-09. ## Community Health: Activity on the release has been strong as has mailing list activity. Jira issues and code contributions outside the release were a little quieter than normal. We hope general activity will pick up once we begin Groovy 5 roadmap discussions. This quarter on our main branch (which now corresponds to Groovy 5) of our core repo, 290 commits were contributed from 5 contributors including 2 non-committer contributors (2 new). (459 commits by 9 contributors across all branches/repos.)
