Howdy, mostly bug fixes in Resolver (that is shipped embedded within Maven), and some minor fixes in Maven itself: - resolver had 2 notable bugs, one in new BF collector (endless loop, SOEx) that blocked VSCode Maven integration users, and a "cluster" of multiple smaller bugs rendering provided checksum feature not quite usable. The 3rd bug was related to a new "lock diagnostic", that was emitting false (impossible) locks states. Rest is "general improvements" (manual route config, timeout default value change) and POM update. There is one change (undoes partially a change happened in 1.9.13) that is performance related, when locking is used. - maven had one bugfix (affecting users that may end up in endless loop in case of plugin error, for example asciidoctor plugin users), and there was a minor fix (bumping guava) for users who are unsavory of CVEs, mostly for their peace of mind (as Maven itself is AFAIK not affected by this CVE, but don't take my statement for granted).
Of course, if you do not use any of these features like BF-collector, provided-checksums, trying to debug locking issues or having endless loops when some plugins fail, 3.9.4 will not make a big difference for you, but as Romain said, we just want to "move forward", by doing regular minor releases. Maven may receive more changes, as resolver is the first in the pipe, and as all releases, takes 3 days.
