This effort was far more than a technical upgrade. It marks Geode’s evolution into the Jakarta EE 10 ecosystem, bringing with it a modern foundation built on Spring Framework 6, Spring Boot 3, Spring Shell 3, and Jetty 12. These upgrades position Geode for long-term sustainability, stronger security, and a more vibrant future of innovation. This achievement reflects the best of open collaboration. My heartfelt thanks go to Sai Boorlagadda, Leon Finker, and Arnout Engelen for their thoughtful reviews, deep expertise, and commitment to excellence throughout this transformation. What’s Next -We’ve entered a stabilization period on the develop branch. -On December 1, I plan to create the support/2.0 branch. -The Apache Geode 2.0.0 release could arrive as early as mid-December — a release that will define the next generation of Geode. During this stabilization phase, community testing and feedback are vital. If you maintain applications or deployments that depend on Geode, please take this opportunity to build and run against the latest develop branch, validate integration points, and report any regressions or unexpected behavior. Early testing helps us ensure that 2.0.0 delivers a smooth, reliable upgrade experience for everyone in the ecosystem. How You Can Help As we approach 2.0, your participation is more important than ever: GEODE-10488 – Update geode-book documentation configuration GEODE-10480 – Remediate critical security vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies Nice to Have for 2.0.0 (Non-blocking, but Valuable) GEODE-10479 – Address deprecation and removal warnings from Java 17 migration GEODE-10468 – Modernize the Apache Geode website GEODE-10481 – Implement Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation (led by Sai Boorlagadda) Apache Geode 2.0.0 Project Dashboard https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GEODE/versions/12356370___.YzJ1OnNhc2luc3RpdHV0ZTpjOm86YjhjNjg4N2QxZjRhMjNkZjUyM2QyM2MyNjM3MTk3MzU6Nzo3ZTViOjE4M2U0YjY3NjBmYzVmZTdiOGZlNTQzYjJiM2M3NjkyZDgyYmZmM2M0ZmU4MDVmYzg0ODI1YzlkYmI0NDE2Nzk6cDpUOk4 <https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r01/___https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GEODE/versions/12356370___.YzJ1OnNhc2luc3RpdHV0ZTpjOm86YjhjNjg4N2QxZjRhMjNkZjUyM2QyM2MyNjM3MTk3MzU6Nzo3ZTViOjE4M2U0YjY3NjBmYzVmZTdiOGZlNTQzYjJiM2M3NjkyZDgyYmZmM2M0ZmU4MDVmYzg0ODI1YzlkYmI0NDE2Nzk6cDpUOk4> As we stabilize and refine the 2.0 branch, your feedback, testing, and observations will directly shape the release. Whether it’s validating functionality, reviewing documentation updates, or testing backward compatibility scenarios — every contribution helps strengthen the release. Please share your findings, suggestions, or concerns on the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list or directly in JIRA. Your insights will help us ensure that Apache Geode 2.0 is not only modernized but also battle-tested, stable, and production-ready. This is a pivotal moment for the project, and your voice truly matters. Each milestone like this reminds us that Apache Geode’s strength lies not only in its code but in its community. Together, we are building a platform that continues to inspire innovation, uphold reliability, and embrace the future of distributed systems. Thank you all for your continued dedication, collaboration, and vision. Through your collective effort, Apache Geode is evolving into a stronger, more modern, and future-ready platform. The progress we make today lays the groundwork for the next decade of innovation and ensures Geode’s continued growth and success as a leading open-source project.
