"This week's Java roundup for January 12th, 2026, features news highlighting: the GA release of WildFly 39; point releases of JobRunr and Gradle; maintenance releases of Spring Framework and Micronaut; milestone releases of Micrometer Metrics and Micrometer Tracing; and a beta release of Open Liberty 26.0.0.1."
"JEP 527, Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3, has been elevated from Candidate to Proposed to Target for JDK 27. This JEP proposes to enhance the implementation of RFC 8446, Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.3, using the Hybrid Key Exchange in TLS 1.3 specification, currently being drafted by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in conjunction with JEP 496, Quantum-Resistant Module-Lattice-Based Key Encapsulation Mechanism, delivered in JDK 24. The review is expected to conclude on Monday, January 19, 2026."
"As per the JDK 26 release schedule, Mark Reinhold, Chief Architect, Java Platform Group at Oracle, formally declared that JDK 26 has entered Rampdown Phase Two. This means that: no additional JEPs will be added for JDK 26; and there will be a focus on the P1 and P2 bugs which can be fixed via the Fix-Request Process. Late enhancements are still possible, with the Late-Enhancement Request Process, but Reinhold states that " the bar is now extraordinarily high." Therefore, the final set of 10 features for the GA release in March 2026 will include:"
WildFly 39 reached GA and multiple tooling and framework updates were released, including point releases for JobRunr and Gradle, maintenance releases for Spring Framework and Micronaut, milestone releases for Micrometer Metrics and Micrometer Tracing, and a beta of Open Liberty 26.0.0.1. OpenJDK JEP 527 (Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3) advanced from Candidate to Proposed to Target for JDK 27 and is linked to JEP 496; the review is expected to conclude January 19, 2026. JDK 26 Build 31 and JDK 27 Build 5 early-access builds were published. JDK 26 entered Rampdown Phase Two, halting new JEP additions, focusing on P1/P2 bug fixes, and allowing only high-bar late enhancements. Developers are encouraged to report bugs via the Java Bug Database.
