THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
We are a bit late with announcing the 2.8.5 release which was actually available in the public repos for a few days now. The 2.8.5 release comes with 46 issues fixed. While the 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are still actively supported, we will now focus on getting 2.10.0 out the door.
The artifacts are published and ready for you to download either from the Apache mirrors or from the Central Maven repository. For more details please take a look at the release notes.
Thanks everybody for the continued support.
