Released on May 26, 2025, version v0.0.5 of firestoreproto2map is a dedicated maintenance release. While it doesn’t introduce new functional features, it focuses on strengthening the project’s foundation through critical dependency updates and documentation refinements to ensure a smoother developer experience.

What’s new

This release focuses on stability and accuracy:

  • Documentation Improvements: The usage example in the README.md has been corrected. This ensures that developers can implement the library quickly and correctly without encountering discrepancies in the example code.
  • Core Dependency Updates: The library has been updated to use google-cloud-firestore version 3.31.4, keeping the project aligned with the latest Google Cloud standards.
  • Infrastructure Hardening: We’ve refined our CI/CD pipelines, explicitly targeting Java 17 across workflows and integrating zizmor for enhanced static analysis and security scanning.

Why it matters

For a utility library like firestoreproto2map, reliability is the primary feature. By updating core dependencies, we ensure that users benefit from the latest performance improvements and security patches provided by the official Google Cloud SDKs.

Furthermore, the correction of the README examples removes friction for new adopters, ensuring the “time to first success” is as short as possible. The upgrades to our internal tooling and CI pipelines mean that future updates will be more stable and secure, providing a more robust platform for the community.

Getting started with v0.0.5

Updating to the latest version is straightforward. Simply update the version in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>firestoreproto2map</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.5</version>
</dependency>

This is a non-breaking release, so you can upgrade with confidence. We encourage all users to move to v0.0.5 to take advantage of the updated dependencies and improved documentation.
