Re: Apache TomEE Roadmap

Hey Saravan,


for TomEE 10.0.x the roadmap currently looks like this: With 
microprofile being done development is looking pretty good now IMO, but 
we are blocked by a couple downstream dependency releases (namely CXF 
and OWB) before we can make a final 10.0.0 release. CXF is planning to 
release 4.1.0 in december 
(https://lists.apache.org/thread/movf2qso9qhrnh9lwx0cfyg11ds11m32) and 
we are hoping for a fast OWB release soon. If everything goes well we 
might see TomEE 10.0.0 GA in Q1/2025, _maybe_ even this year. The 
milestone releases are already pretty stable and at least me and Richard 
have been running/testing these in production for a couple months now.


For 9.1.x the situation isn't as easy: We rely on Tomcat 10.0.x, which 
has been determined EOL by the Apache Tomcat team so no security 
vulnerabilities are getting fixed anymore. We do have the tools to 
backport patches ourselves in this old tomcat version, but realistically 
there is just nobody that volunteers to do this and can dedicate enough 
time. TomEE 9.1.x is admittedly in a stalled state right now because of 
this and I think we have to announce it as EOL pretty soon once we have 
10.0.0 GA released.


Hope this makes sense


Thanks

Markus
