what's up with 3.27/3.28?

[Jiehong]

Hello!

What is going on with Quarkus 3.27 and 3.28?

The wiki says 3.27 is a LTS, but no release notes exist, nor any migration guide.

3.27 and 3.28 appeared on September 17th in https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.quarkus/quarkus-core, so it's been a week.

It feels like a bug in the release process, or something, but the lack of communication either in github tickets, or in https://quarkus.io/blog/ is a bit worrying.

Are 3.27 and 3.28 releases actually malicious, or just a bug?

Could someone clarify?

It's the expected process. Only Quarkus core 3.27 has been released yet, not the platform (what you use). The release note will be published (and an associated blog post). The good news is that it should happen today (see https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/wiki/Release-Planning).

As you mention, 3.27 is an LTS, so based on 3.26. 3.28 is not an LTS and so follows a slightly different process (see https://quarkus.io/blog/lts-cadence/ to understand the branching mechanism). 3.28 platform is also going to be released today (I think).
