After having your feedback (Richard + Kristian), I’d like to set the roadmap of OpenNLP 3.x releases as follows:
(b3) is acceptable to both of you, that brings us to: - 3.0.0-M5 => Mid of July 2026 - see open VOTE, minutes ago - 3.0.0-M6 => Mid of September 2026 - 3.0.0 (GA) => Mid of November 2026 In consequence, we have one last Milestone release ahead (M6), afterwards we will stabilize and apply final shampoo to Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0 ! I’ll update JIRA to reflect the release schedule accordingly. On point (c): No wishes or aspects were received so far. You’ll still have a time window for M6 as outlined above, in case something comes to your mind(s). Please help and engage with the future direction and shape of the project, thx!
