Play 2.8.20
The Play Team is happy to announce the release of Play 2.8.20 🥳
❔ Nice, but what about Play 2.9?
It's around the corner, basically some docs, migration guide and release notes missing, but no more pull requests. A first release candidate should follow within days 🤞 Sorry, it took a bit longer and was postponed a couple of times. With the first Play 2.9 RC we will also give an update on how we continue with Akka / Akka HTTP after September 2023.
