Quo Vadis Maven?

[Tamás Cservenák]

Howdy,

This is just a short newsflash about upcoming planned releases related to
Maven.

Recently we got a huge spike in plugin releases, with various fixes and
improvements. I will not enumerate all of them here, just use `mvn
versions:display-plugin-updates` to pick them up ;)
(and more plugins to come).

What I do want to share is about our upcoming Maven releases...

Maven 3.9.7 is nearing (read: coming soon), and will have an important
Resolver update and other important fixes. Most importantly, the file-locks
are getting nice improvement (feedback VERY welcome).

Maven 3.9.7 issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MNG%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%203.9.7

Resolver 1.9.19 issues (mostly bug fixes):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MRESOLVER%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.9.19

At the same time, we plan to release Maven Daemon (m39) as well, to have it
aligned with Maven 3,9,7: with many bug fixes and improvements/alignments
to "how Maven 3 behave". Our goal is to make the two (mvn and mvnd)
interchangeable on workstations.

Next, Maven 4 is turning beta, so the next release will be beta1! And
again, same thing for Maven Damon (m40), we will have a release that will
include Maven 4 beta-1.

Maven 4 beta-1
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MNG%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%204.0.0-beta-1

Resolver 2.0.0 (currently alpha-11, will become beta after Maven4 beta-1
release):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MRESOLVER%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0-alpha-11

Keep your eyes on our upcoming releases,
and have fun!
