Java News Roundup: WildFly 34, Stream Gatherers, Oracle CPU, Quarkiverse Release Process
InfoQ, Monday, October 21st, 2024
This week's Java roundup for October 14th, 2024, features news highlighting: the release of WildFly 34; JEP 485, Stream Gatherers, proposed to target for JDK 24; Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2024; and a potential leak in the SmallRye and Quarkiverse release processes.
JEP 485, Stream Gatherers, has been promoted from Candidate to Proposed to Target for JDK 24. This JEP proposes to finalize this feature after two rounds of preview, namely: JEP 473: Stream Gatherers (Second Preview), delivered in JDK 23; and JEP 461, Stream Gatherers (Preview), delivered in JDK 22.
This feature was designed to enhance the Stream API to support custom intermediate operations that will "allow stream pipelines to transform data in ways that are not easily achievable with the existing built-in intermediate operations." More details on this JEP may be found in the original design document and this InfoQ news story. The review is expected to conclude on October 23, 2024.
