Sorry this is out a bit late, I’m super sick. I’ll probably write this and go right back to bed.
In the last week we did a lot of preparation for Horizon 24, plus continued work on the graph service, RPC and sink metrics, and some UI work.

April OpenNMS Horizon and Meridian Releases
OpenNMS Horizon (Rapid Release)
April marks a new major Horizon release: OpenNMS Horizon 24. The most notable improvements are big updates to alarm correlation (including support for Tensorflow-based AI correlation), a new developer API for creating OpenNMS plugins, a web UI refresh, and flow enhancements.
For a complete list of changes in Horizon 24, see the release notes.
OpenNMS Meridian (LTS)
We also updated Meridian all the way back to Meridian 2016, primarily to fix a bug in SNMP processing of certain buggy agent behaviors that could cause an out of memory exception.
For a complete list of changes, see the release notes:
