Quick note: I just released Jackson 2.17.2 patch: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.17.2
with about a dozen fixes -- most, as usual, to jackson-databind. None is critical (unlike some of the fixes in 2.17.1), but the upgrade from 2.17.0 or 2.17.1 is recommended. At this point the focus will be on finalizing 2.18.0 release (see the current state: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.18) -- there are just 2 or 3 issues I would like to get resolved, although none of them is a show-stopper. So if things go well I might be able to release 2.18.0-rc1 before end of July, although it is more likely that it'd happen closer to mid-August (since I will have vacation over the last week of July and the first of August). We'll see. And beyond 2.18.0, we will (finally!!!) shift focus back to getting 3.0 (branch "master") ready for its release candidate phase during the rest of 2024. It has been quite a long road with 3.0 -- I actually branched it off as early as mid-2017, during development of 2.9, thinking we'd "run out of minor versions" :-D -- but its progress has come in spikes, with long intervening lulls. (for anyone interested in reasons for Jackson 3.0 over 2.x, may want to read https://medium.com/@cowtowncoder/jackson-3-0-vision-jan-2021-62ce3047e896 -- written a while ago, in 2021). Anyone, happy upgrading to 2.17.2, looking forward to 2.18 release cycle and then work towards official 3.0, -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
