Hi all, Please see the April quarterly report draft below, and let me know if anything is missing or needs update.
Given we are in the middle of the release VOTE, the announcement links are current placeholders. I do expect the release artifacts to be published by the time we submit the report. Thanks! —————————————————————— ## Description: Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). ## Project Status: The project is ongoing with high activities this past quarter. There are no issues requiring board attention. ## Membership Data: Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Cole Greer on 2025-06-02. - No new committers. Last addition was Andrea Child on 2025-08-11. ## Project Activity: The project achieved a significant milestone this quarter with a triple release of TinkerPop 3.7.6, 3.8.1, and 4.0.0-beta.2 on April 1, 2026 [1] [2] [3]. This is the first release since the 3.7.5/3.8.0 releases in November 2025. TinkerPop 3.7.6 and 3.8.1 are maintenance releases containing bug fixes and non-breaking improvements across the 3.7.x and 3.8.x lines respectively. TinkerPop 4.0.0-beta.2 completes the migration of all language drivers (.NET, Go, and JavaScript now join Java and Python) to the new HTTP-based communication model, standardized query format in canonical Gremlin, adds built-in authentication support through request interceptors, re-enables transaction support in Java, and delivers a rewritten JavaScript driver with TypeScript support. ### Releases: 3.7.6 was released on 2026-04-01. 3.8.1 was released on 2026-04-01. 4.0.0-beta.2 was released on 2026-04-01. ## Community Health: The TinkerPop community maintains strong engagement with consistent contributions from core committers and active participation from users on the dev list and in our Discord server. A notable highlight this quarter is the publication of the second edition of Practical Gremlin [5], authored by Kelvin Lawrence and Stephen Mallette. This comprehensive guide to the Gremlin query language has been updated to cover TinkerPop 3.8.0 features and serves as key resource for Gremlin users of all levels. The community continues to hold regular TinkerPop Gathering meetings [4], open to anyone who wishes to join, to enhance collaboration and provide real-time discussion opportunities. Meeting notes are recorded on the dev list, with recent chat exploring how schema definitions could be integrated into the TinkerPop framework to improve data modeling, validation, and interoperability across providers. This quarter featured one live event on Twitch [6]: a TinkerPop Wide session exploring Graph Explorer. The recording is available on our YouTube channel [7]: * TinkerPop Wide: Exploring Graph Explorer [8] Presenters: Kris McGinnes, Kelvin Lawrence, Stephen Mallette ## Report Links [1]: <PLACEHOLDER: 3.7.6 release announcement link> [2]: <PLACEHOLDER: 3.8.1 release announcement link> [3]: <PLACEHOLDER: 4.0.0-beta.2 release announcement link> [4]: https://lists.apache.org/thread/06jq7cs987g3slv6jst4nmvl1lgnfc8t [5]: https://krlawrence.github.io/graph/ [6]: https://www.twitch.tv/apachetinkerpop [7]: https://www.youtube.com/@apachetinkerpop [8]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JydxBXJZn0 —————————————————————— Yang
