About OpenDataDiscovery
Four ODD Platform releases in two weeks, and not one of them changes the product
ODD Platform's recent releases are entirely dependency and build hygiene. Four tags went out between 20 March and 3 April 2026: a Spring Boot security upgrade, a container Java runtime bump from 17.0.2 to 17.0.18, an alignment pass across apache-lang, okhttp and nimbus-jose-jwt, a commit whose stated purpose was forcing a build, and a netty-bom downgrade to unbreak UI static assets. Two contributors account for all of it, and no entry describes a user-facing change.
