In the last week we did more bugfixing, continued to work on JDK11-based builds, a new config API, in-core BMP support, build infrastructure updates, UI/UX cleanups, and tons of documentation tweaks.

Release Roadmap
March Releases
The next OpenNMS release day is March 2nd, 2021.
Currently we expect new releases for all supported Horizon and Meridian (2018, 2019, 2020) releases.
Next Horizon: 28 (Q1 2021)
The next major Horizon release will be Horizon 28.
It is currently expected to be released during the March release cycle.
It will primarily contain enhancements to flow processing to handle ToS/QoS (DSCP) aggregation, as well as a refactor of our BGP Monitoring Protocol support to bring it in-core, rather than relying on an external OpenBMP instance.
Next Meridian: 2021 (Q2 2021)
With the recent release of Meridian 2020, plans are still tentative.
However, the current plan is that Meridian 2021 will be based on Horizon 28.
We'll know more once development plans start to firm up.
