Daffodil version 3.6.0 was released on 2023-10-27. Issues for the board: none. ## Membership Data: Apache Daffodil was founded 2021-02-16 (3 years ago) There are currently 19 committers and 18 PMC members in this project.

It handles only flat (row-like) data containing integers at this point, but represents a large step forward in integrating two large code bases. Version 3.6.0 contains important performance improvements in Daffodil unparsing (data serialization). It also supports the latest LTS Java (which is Java 21). ## Community Health: Activity level is acceptable, end of calendar year is always slower, and our metrics reflect that, but overall there is good participation.
