## Project Activity:

The Fineract community maintains two active projects.

Fineract 1.x - Current generation product which is widely used.


Fineract-CN - Next Generation framework which is still under active
development and has not been officially released


- Fineract 1.x

Shipping of release 1.4 has been delayed.

Over the past quarter, merged changes have been limited mostly to updates to
versions of project dependencies. There is ongoing work around migrating API
documentation to swagger (GSOC project) , fixing flakiness around test cases
and integrating open banking API's which are expected to be merged in the near
future.


- Fineract-CN

Major progress towards resolving pending category X dependencies , namely

   - RDBMS migrated from MySQL to PostgreSQL by Isaac Kamga

   - ORM migrated from Hibernate to EclipseLink (GSoC 2019 project by Ebenezer Graham)

   - Further, thanks to Juhan Aasaru , major simplifications have been made with
regards to the containerization and the provisioning process.


## Community Health:

Both projects continue to remain healthy with 494 mails sent to our dev
mailing list. While the traffic was slightly higher in the previous quarter,
the same was attributed to a seasonal spike linked to activity around Google
Summer Of Code.

Activity rates on Jira also remain stable

   - 18 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months (14 in the previous
