175: 18 And Life...

Until last week, I was going to open the show saying it's been a long time since we last recorded, but we slipped in an interview with the guys from plz.review - so that's not exactly true anymore. It has, however, still been a while since we've had a normal, full session of discussion and argument.

Delayed: The publishing/editing of this episode was unfortunately delayed due to me finally catching Covid.

• Github "integration" is available, we even had GerritForge - Home page listed in the show notes, as part of GerritForge there's GerritHub for online hosted Gerrit+GitHub integration which uses Gerrit's replication plugin, and a Github integration for authentication/authorization. Patch sets and comments remain in Gerrit.

Since the last main episode, Java 18 was released (and earlier this week JDK 18.0.2 was released with various security and docker improvements.)
