📣 Important News 📣 We’d like to provide you with some information regarding the future of Exposed. As many of you know, this project was started by a few folks inside JetBrains. It is being used inside JetBrains on a few products, and of course there are all of you, as well as many folks using it in the community. Last week at KotlinConf I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of folks that are using the product. For a number of years, @tapac has been doing a tremendous effort of maintaining this as
JetBrains Team
project. However, Exposed needs more attention, and some time ago we agreed on putting more effort into Exposed, by creating a new team around it, putting in place better documentation, release schedules, and more. I’m happy to announce that this is underway and we have two full time developers now working on the product (who are also on this channel….please welcome @Jocelyne Abi Haidar and @Chantal Loncle). In addition @e5l whom some of you know from the Ktor team, as well as myself will be working on this project. As well of course as @tapac. We have a lot of plans for Exposed, and we’ll be sharing them soon, but for now, given that there have been a number of questions about our commitment to it, I wanted to share the news to let you know that we are committed and things are moving forward!

Thank you. I hope, exposed will “rise” to the status of an official supported product like Ktor …

That's precisely what I'm saying. Consider it officially supported.

This is great news. Good to see a good idea to evolve from a side project to be an official library. Cannot articulate enough how well this library is doing it's thing, also how flexible it is. Looking forward to see the future progress!

It would be nice if some of the central points of Exposed's new roadmap are shared with us, so that we know what to expect and can plan on how to adapt. @hhariri Is there anything concrete so far?

Yes. Hopefully soon we can share this.
