34 | 61 | In the last month, the WG - Quarkus 3.15 LTS closed two issues: one regarding the assignment of random ports in the configuration and another updating the Kafka client version to 3.7.2 to address CVE-2024-56128. No new issues were opened, reflecting a commitment to resolving important topics for the upcoming LTS release. |
