## Project Activity:
Jena 4.4.0 was released 2022-02-02.
Key features of this release:
* New triplestore (Apache Jena Fuseki) UI. The UI has been rewritten for
improved maintenance and style. We now have much better management of
dependencies, as witnessed by security advisories on the github
repository.
* Improved bulk loader. The database bulk loader has fixes and
performance refinements. It has been used to load the full WikiData
dataset. This has been a community effort to test and load large scale
data in different hardware environments.
## Community Health:
The development community has decided to enable some github features
(issues and discussions areas) and reorganise the mailing lists. The
dev@ mailing list was primarily JIRA messages; these have been rerouted
to a specific jira@.
We hope that having the github features will make it easier for external
feedback and contributions. The existing channels of feedback and
contribution continue - nothing has been closed down.
The level of email on the dev@ list will fall dramatically. This will
show up in next quarter's report.
We hope this makes it easier for people to observe the project and also
have project-wide discussions without the JIRA emails dominating the list.
