I gave Mike that data without providing enough context. Yes, 108 is the number of commits since the beginning of June. That number includes all commits on all branches.

You're right that the number of commits in September is down, but the trend line in the months preceding September is pretty stable and represents a healthy project that is on track to deliver Java 9 support in September 2016 (and that's what is really important, right?)

The project lead has taken some time out of his busy schedule to capture down an explanation for the anomaly in the commit chart.

That the project didn't include any talk of Java 9 in their new and noteworthy is, I believe, primarily the project lead trying to be careful about what claims we make about Java 9 support.

FWIW, you can test the Java 9 support BETA today.

I've changed how we generate those charts to make it easier for people to see activity without having to understand (and navigate) our (arcane?) project hierarchy.
