Hi Folks, Any other updates/comments before I submit our latest board report? (Due soon)
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 community support related to our release of Groovy 4.0 from last quarter. Groovy 4 includes a range of new features including switch expressions, sealed types, records, language integrated query and much more! All up there were about 800 new features, improvements and bug fixes since Groovy 3 which was released just over a year ago. Typically, moving to a major new Groovy version takes some time. As more projects have started moving to Groovy 4, we have had more feedback on some performance and compatibility regressions. We will continue to work with the community on such issues with Groovy 4 as well as needed bug fixes for earlier Groovy versions. We have yet to give much attention to our roadmap for Groovy 5 but some small steps have been taken. We will give that topic additional attention once activity around the recent Groovy 4 release has settled down. Recent releases: 4.0.2 was released on 2022-04-22. 4.0.1 was released on 2022-03-08. 3.0.10 was released on 2022-03-06. 2.5.16 was released on 2022-03-05. ## Community Health: Activity on Github, Jira and the mailing lists has been a little stronger than last quarter. We anticipate early work for the Groovy track at ApacheCon to begin this coming quarter. This quarter on our main branch (which now corresponds to Groovy 5) of our core repo, 196 commits were contributed from 6 contributors including 3 non-committer contributors (1 new). (641 commits by 12 contributors across all branches/repos.)
