Activity continues towards a final 4.8.0-beta00018 release, and activity has increased since the last report. We are still focusing on completing work on ICU4N and upgrading J2N to support System.Memory types to allow for more efficient memory management. Lucene.Net is undergoing several breaking API changes to stabilize the API for for the 4.8.0-beta00018 release. A project for Google Summer of Code to provide packages with deeper integration with .NET dependency injection APIs recently concluded, and is in the process of being merged into a new lucenenet-extensions repo. We are also working on a set of code analysis tools and code fixes for automating project-specific code issues and formatting to automate managing code consistency across the codebase and automation to release them with minimal manual effort. GitHub Discussions has been enabled on our repository as an alternative to using mailing lists to share ideas. ## Community Health: - dev@lucenenet.apache.org<mailto:dev@lucenenet.apache.org> had a 1% increase in traffic in the past quarter (179 emails compared to 177) - NOTE: The prior report mentioned a 91% decrease in traffic (19 vs 198 emails). This was significantly due to Google Summer of Code activity (the main focus the past couple months) happening off-mailing-list via Slack and PRs. Now that that has concluded, our mailing list activity has returned to normal (179 vs 177). This discrepancy is also partially due to the board reports not perfectly aligning with calendar quarters. - 13 commits in the past quarter - 4 code contributors in the past quarter - 15 PRs opened on GitHub, past quarter - 14 PRs closed on GitHub, past quarter - 8 issues opened on GitHub, past quarter - 9 issues closed on GitHub, past quarter
