<h1>Xtext 2.27.0 Release Notes</h1>
<h4>May 30, 2022</h4>
<br/>
<p>Xtext 2.27.0 is a maintenance release.</p>
<h2 id="call-to-action-secure-the-future-maintenance-of-xtext">Call to Action: Secure the future maintenance of Xtext</h2>
<p>As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release. Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel. If you care, please join the discussion in <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1721">https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1721</a>.</p>
<h2 id="changes-to-orgeclipsextextsdk-feature">Changes to <code>org.eclipse.xtext.sdk</code> feature.</h2>
<p>The <code>org.eclipse.xtext.sdk</code> does no longer package the deprecated <code>org.eclipse.xtext.generator</code> bundle. Please migrate to the new workflow/generator. The old and deprecated generator can still be found in the new <code>org.eclipse.xtext.generator</code> feature.</p>
<h2 id="upgrades">Upgrades</h2>
<ul>
<li>Tycho 2.7.3</li>
