Hello sir! Excited to see some fresh faces in the maintenance of this critical library, cheers to you for taking up the torch

[dbercier]

Roger that. Thank you so much for this help. I will look for that label and pick up an issue and help keep VAVR moving forward.

Do you have a specific, targeted release date for 0.10.5?

[pivovarit]

Should happen this weekend. The tag is already in place, but I'm not sure if the release infrastructure will stand the test of time

[dbercier]

Roger that. Sounds awesome!

https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr/releases/tag/v0.10.5 it's live :)

Good, some activity here! I'm doing a personal project, a diagram editor, where I keep the code sane by using vavr. I can easily track edits in the diagram, so "undo" and "history" are free. When everything is mutable, that would become a nightmare quickly!

@pivovarit would you like some tips to get going? I maintained this for five years: https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser

Hi since a good mentor took me to collaborate in OSS projects I have been looking for projects to collaborate in, and since I saw this project in one of the posts in the Java reddit I would like to contribute as much as I can in this one, so it is a pleasure to see all the comments talking so well about it, I hope I can contribute something with my little knowledge, hahaha

Excited to see this library continue on. Long time user mostly for functional error handling. Interested in contributing.

@pivovarit Hi and thanks for your effort to keep this project maintained and alive.
I'm interested in contributing, especially on testing and documentation. Let me know where I could help.

[Andras-Csanyi]

The same from my side.

Hello, I am an avid user of the VAVR library. I am working for a client that did allow us to use it but recently the lead architect is telling folks to remove it because of the CVE's being raised against it and because from their research they discovered that the 1.0 version of VAVR was abandoned because of breaking changes and complaints from the community. This is heartbreaking for me as an FP enthusiast. It's literally like my world is crashing not just while working at this client but anywhere in the future. Can anyone tell me the current state of things with VAVR and offer any hope for its future?

[pivovarit]

Hi! Let me clarify a few things:

• 1.0 was not abandoned - some work that went into it will probably go down the drain, but 1.0 will happen at some point in the future. Yes, it will most likely contain breaking changes since bumping up a major version is the only opportunity to do so
• 0.x will be actively maintained, actually this was posted literally an hour ago: https://x.com/vavr_io/status/1844678930034282511
• which CVEs? there was just one and not applicable to production code: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-15250 and it will be addressed in 0.10.5
