Hi dev team The 9.2.0 release is on a vote and should be able to release tomorrow. With 3 versions iteration, I think we are confident to say, 9.x is our default mainstream and ready for prod use.
So, when we release 9.3.0(Nov. or Dec. 2022), all 8.x releases(8.8.1 and 8.9.1) with docs could be removed from the website. As always, no version and doc would be removed permanently, they are all in GitHub's tagged versions, as well as in ASF's archive SVN, https://archive.apache.org/dist/skywalking/. I am sharing this plan 2 months earlier than taking action, if anyone thinks we should keep 8.x, please comment here and share why. For now, we don't have any committers to keep working on 8.x backend and UI. Sheng Wu 吴晟 Twitter, wusheng1108
