Hi Andy, Wanted to check whether running the Sling 14 release still fits with your plans or not.
I think with the nearing releasing of Java 25 (Sep 16th) we would be in a good position to release Sling 14 in time. We do have at least basic compatibility (one module release away). There is absolutely no pressure to take this up but it would be good to know if we should look for alternatives. Thanks!
