April Community Recap

Hey there, May! You sneaked up on us. I haven’t even had a chance to dust off my lightsaber or think of a witty Star Wars meme for May 4th. (If you’ve got a good meme, you could earn a Liquibase t-shirt!) I’ve been busy thinking about all of the cool things that happened in the Liquibase Community this past month! Let’s dive into some updates from April.

Liquibase 4.3.5 Released
