## Project Activity:
Development is now around Jena 5, using the major version change for
both external changes and code improvements.
External changes include building convenience binaries for Java17 in
keeping with the project supporting two Java LTS; switching from
javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet); update to Eclipse Jetty12; and
removing a dependency from a project that is no longer active.
Project development for Jena5 includes removing deprecated code and
tidying up. There is a new standards compliant RDF/XML parser which is
both faster and easier to maintain.
## Community Health:
The community continues to answer questions on the users list. The dev
list has been quieter because the project has moved some more automated
email off that list, general seasonal effects, and because the Jena5
development has proceeded on github.
