[cescoffier]

Yesterday, we held our Quarkus Community Call "Office Hours." Here is a short summary. You can find the complete notes (including the recording) at the link below.

Recap:

Release Roadmap: Guillaume Smet announced that Quarkus 3.31 is arriving next week. It is a significant release including major updates to JUnit and Testcontainers. This leads into 3.32 (late Feb), which will form the basis for the next LTS, Quarkus 3.33.

Java 25: Sanne Grinovero and Guillaume confirmed Quarkus is fully ready for Java 25, utilizing the Mandrel 25 builder and Gizmo 2 optimizations for faster build times.

Module Naming Deep Dive: David Lloyd led a discussion on JPMS modularization. The team debated naming conflicts between independent project APIs (like io.quarkus.arc) and extension runtimes. The strictness of javac regarding unique module names poses challenges for the current extension structure ADR. Solutions discussed included shading libraries into extensions or adopting a distinct x or ext prefix for runtime modules.

Community Contributions: We highlighted improvements in Maven packaging (parallel compression), Multi-OpenAPI support, and new Web Bundle support for Tailwind V4 and Svelte.

Next Call: In two weeks, we will discuss Context Propagation with @jponge.
