 Official releases are usually created when the [developers]({filename}/pages/whoweare.md)
 feel there are sufficient changes, improvements and bug fixes to warrant a release.
 Due to the voluntary nature of Solr, no releases are scheduled in advance.

+#### Apache Solr 8.8.0 update
+Solr 8.8.0 has been reported to have back-compat issues with SolrJ. 
+
+Client applications that use a SolrJ version prior to 8.8.0 may experience a NullPointerException in ZkCoreNodeProps when requesting cluster state from Zookeeper. Upgrading your application to use SolrJ 8.8.0 will fix the issue.
+
+A release with the fix is currently being worked on.
