### How has the project developed since the last report?
We have completed the full migration of the website and codebase from
Alibaba to Apache.
Additionally, we’ve finalized development of Fluss v0.8 which was started
since the project entered ASF incubator.
This version introduces Streaming Lakehouse support with Apache Iceberg
and Lance. Now, all streaming events written to Fluss are automatically
converted into either Iceberg or Lance format in real-time, enabling
seamless lakehouse integration.
Besides, since introducing the Fluss Improvement Proposal (FIP) process
in July, we have already created 17 FIPs, many of which have been approved
and implemented.

We released fluss-shaded-1.0-incubating in August, but this is not
considered an official Fluss release, as it is a shaded utility module
rather than part of the core Fluss system. The community is working on the
official release of Fluss core (v0.8).
