We are extremely pleased to announce that Eclipse Vert.x version 4.4.4 has been released.

Since the release of Vert.x 4.4.4, quite a few bugs have been reported. We would like to thank you all for reporting these issues.

This release also upgrades to Netty 4.1.94.Final fixing CVE-2023-34462.

The Vert.x gRPC plugin generating Vert.x idiomatic classes has also been ported to the new gRPC implementation.

VertxGreeterGrpcServer.GreeterApi stub = new VertxGreeterGrpcServer.GreeterApi() {
 @Override
 public Future<HelloReply> sayHello(HelloRequest request) {
   return Future.succeededFuture(HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage("Hello " + request.getName()).build());
 }
};

The 4.4.4 release notes can be found on the wiki.
