Metalama Status Update, February 2025

Metalama Status Update, February 2025

Last month, we shared our plans to make Metalama open-source, and throughout February we’ve been working to make it happen. We’ve made good technical progress, but we’re not quite ready to release yet.

On the technical side, we’ve successfully modularized key features in preparation for the transition, allowing us to keep some components proprietary. However, the legal aspects of dual-licensing Metalama are still in progress. It’s a complex process, and we want to ensure everything is done right from the start. This is the main factor delaying the release of our source code and binaries.

Updated Roadmap

Here’s our revised timeline for the open-source release:

  • First half of March: First open-source preview release
  • Second half of March: Release Candidate (RC)
  • Second half of April: General Availability (GA)

If the legal process takes longer than expected, we’ll use the extra time to introduce a new feature in the 2025.1 release: intercepting event invocations.

Between the RC and GA releases, our focus will shift toward supporting infrastructure, including:

  • Launching a dedicated Metalama website
  • Migrating project and issue management to GitHub
  • Updating our e-shop and CRM systems

Stay Tuned

We’re committed to making this transition smooth. Thank you for your patience. We’re almost there. More updates soon.
