Security Audit
A dedicated security audit by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF) to uncover vulnerabilities in Scala’s core components and strengthen confidence in the language and its supply chain.
Improvement of scoverage
Enhancing scoverage, the key code coverage tool in the Scala ecosystem, to increase reliability and help teams detect testing gaps earlier. Improving the support of the new Scala 3 features to enable Scala 3 teams to use scoverage in production.
Maintenance of the Standard Library / Core Library Modules and APIs
Long-term maintenance of core libraries and APIs for stability: keeping foundational modules healthy, reducing technical debt, and ensuring compatibility across versions.
Modernization and extension of the Standard Library / Core Library Modules
Modernizing and extending core modules so Scala remains productive and relevant, including support for direct-style concurrency primitives.
API Documentation
Improving API documentation and Scala websites to help users understand the standard library and make informed decisions when building applications.
Build tool major update: sbt 2.0
The major update to sbt 2.0 will make Scala projects faster and easier to build, maintain, and understand. sbt 2 adopts Scala 3 for build definitions and improves the developer experience for new and established projects.
