Released on June 22, 2026, firestoreproto2json v0.0.9 is a maintenance release dedicated to enhancing the project’s underlying stability and security. While this version doesn’t introduce new features, it ensures that the library remains robust and up-to-date with the latest industry standards.

What’s new

This release focuses on essential maintenance, primarily through a comprehensive update of project dependencies and CI/CD workflows:

  • Dependency Bumps: We’ve updated several core libraries to their latest versions, including Gson and Lombok, ensuring better performance and security.
  • Tooling Updates: Our build and test plugins, such as the Maven Compiler and Surefire plugins, have been bumped to improve build reliability.
  • CI/CD Enhancements: We’ve updated our GitHub Actions workflows, including actions/checkout and codecov-action, to leverage the latest security patches and reporting capabilities.

Why it matters

Regular maintenance is critical for any library, especially one that handles data conversion. By keeping our dependencies current, we reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility with modern Java 17 environments. These behind-the-scenes improvements provide a more stable foundation for developers relying on firestoreproto2json to process Firestore Protocol Buffers into JSON.

Upgrade Instructions

Upgrading to v0.0.9 is straightforward. Update the version number in your Maven pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>firestoreproto2json</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.9</version>
</dependency>

As this is a maintenance release, there are no breaking changes, and your existing implementation should work seamlessly.
