# 2024 Q2 Hyperledger Fabric | ||
|
||
# Project Health | ||
|
||
Hyperledger Fabric is fairly mature and stable with a v2.5 Long-term support (LTS) release. | ||
There is less churn and fewer commits than in years past, with continued focus on quality and support. | ||
New features get proposed, approved, and implemented based on a community RFC process. | ||
Mailing list activity is down a bit compared to prior years. | ||
PRs and mailing list questions are generally turned around quickly. | ||
There is significant Discord activity. | ||
|

||
LTS release: | ||
- v2.5 is the current LTS release with patch releases at least quarterly. | ||
- Note that v2.2 has reached end of maintenance and all users are encouraged to update to v2.5 to continue receiving fixes and security updates. | ||
|
||
[Releases](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/releases) past quarter: | ||
|
||
- Fabric v2.2.15 - February 19, 2024 (last v2.2.x release) | ||
- Fabric v2.5.6 - February 19, 2024 | ||
- Fabric v2.5.7 - April 15, 2024 | ||
- Fabric v3.0.0-beta - March 14, 2024 | ||
|
||
# Overall Activity in the Past Quarter | ||
|
||
The project delivered fixes to the Fabric v2.2 and v2.5 releases. See [release notes](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/releases) for details. | ||
|
||
The SmartBFT consensus algorithm integration into the Fabric ordering service was completed and delivered in the v3.0.0-beta release in March. The SmartBFT consensus algorithm itself was moved into [hyperledger-labs](https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/SmartBFT). | ||
|
||
Also included in the v3.0.0-beta release is a new feature to query all approved chaincodes on a channel. | ||
|
||
The last remnants of Azure Pipelines were removed, the transition to Github Actions is now 100% complete, and there was much rejoicing. | ||
|
||
# Current Plans | ||
|
||
The project continues to maintain and keep Fabric v2.5 current. | ||
|
||
The project is working through final items required for a v3.0 release: | ||
- Completion of SmartBFT tests | ||
- Removal of features that were deprecated long ago, e.g. v1 lifecycle, specifying orderer endpoints at global level, configtxgen --outputAnchorPeersUpdate flag, fabric-tools image | ||
- Channel config updates | ||
|
||
# Maintainer Diversity | ||
|
||
7 of 9 [maintainers](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md) from IBM. A maintainer from Hitachi was added this quarter. | ||
|
||
# Contributor Diversity | ||
|
||
- 53% of code activities were performed by top 7 contributors. Remaining 47% performed by 180 other contributors. | ||
- IBM contributors accounted for 81% of activity. | ||
- Of top 10 contributors, 6 of 10 from IBM. | ||
|
||
In summary, the project remains top-heavy from IBM but has good depth of smaller contributors. | ||
