Hi Apache KIE community, Thanks to the Jijo Thomas K and Nithin R Krishnan work (thanks!!), we are glad to announce we completed the Quarkus 3.27.2 and Spring Boot 3.5.10 update (for the "backend" repos only, tooling will follow). The following PRs are ready for review:
- https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-optaplanner/pull/3201 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-drools/pull/6575 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-runtimes/pull/4178 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-apps/pull/2298 - https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-examples/pull/2162 Those two framework upgrades are crucial for Apache KIE evolution and maintenance, and to release a 10.2.0 version founded on a strong foundation. Apache KIE currently relies on: - Quarkus 3.20.3, which will reach End-of-Life (EOL) at the end of March [1]. - Spring Boot 3.4.11 which already reached its OSS End-of-Life (EOL) in December 2025 [2].
