Hi all, 30 issues are done now https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH/fixforversion/12346090
including a number of important dependency upgrades: - Hadoop 3.1 (NUTCH-2777) - Elasticsearch 7.3.0 REST client (NUTCH-2739) Thanks to Shashanka Balakuntala Srinivasa for both! Dependency upgrades to be included (but still open right now): - Tika 1.24.1 - Solr 8.5.1 The last release (1.16) was in October, so it's definitely not too early to release 1.17. As usual, we'll check all remaining issues whether they should be fixed now or can be done later in 1.18. I would be ready to push a release candidate during the next weeks and have already started to work through the remaining issues. Please, comment on issues you want to get fixed already in 1.17! Thanks, Sebastian
