Now that we finally got 6.2.0.321 out the door, time for a roadmap update

Lucee 5.4 - LTS

5.4 is only going to receive urgent security updates until December 31st 2025 and is no longer being developed. It’s time to start planning an upgrade.

Lucee 6.2.1

This will be a quick follow up bug fix release, following up 6.2.0 addressing any regressions found with 6.2.0

I have been working on addressing some long standing session management and cookie related bugs, you can see the progress in this epic

Sprint board for 6.2.1

that’s our bucket list of issues we would like to address, only a subset will be addressed in 6.2.1

Lucee 7.0

Lucee 7.0 is nearing it’s first BETA, with CFCAMP 2025 coming up, you could assume we are aiming for a release announcement at CFCAMP

  • single context only
  • config loaded on demand
  • faster start up / deployment
  • more AI support

Sprint board for 7.0

Next LTS Release

We haven’t decided yet, but 6.2 is the first potential candidate for a LTS release as it supports Jakarta / Tomcat 10.1, but we might decide on 7.0

Absolutely loving the communication that’s been coming as of late from the Lucee folks. Nice work!

@Zackster, when you say 6.2.1 will be a quick turnaround and “that’s our bucket list of issues we would like to address, only a subset will be addressed in 6.2.1”, do you have a feeling yet on when how much will be fit into 6.2.1 and when it might be available? Are we talking weeks? Months? One of our blockers was fixed so we’re eager to move from 5.4.x. Thanks!

First 6.2.1 RC is coming this week, consider the latest snapshot ready for testing!

As usual having people test and provide feedback improves the outcomes and speeds up the process

Only testing once it’s released just means any problems you find won’t be in a stable release until the next release cycle
