"This feature introduces an API to " express vector computations that reliably compile at runtime to optimal vector instructions on supported CPU architectures, thus achieving performance superior to equivalent scalar computations." The Vector API will continue to incubate until the necessary features of Project Valhalla become available as preview features. At that time, the Vector API team will adapt the Vector API and its implementation to use them, and will promote the Vector API from Incubation to Preview."
"JEP 528, Post-Mortem Crash Analysis with jcmd, has been elevated from its JEP Draft 8369012 to Candidate status. This JEP proposes to extend the tool to diagnose a JVM in the event of a crash. The intent is to move this kind of serviceability into as opposed to using the utility or the Serviceability Agent. JDK 26 Build 20 of the JDK 26 early-access builds was made available this past week featuring updates from Build 19 that include fixes for various issues. More details on this release may be found in the release notes."
"This week's Java roundup for October 13th, 2025, features news highlighting: two new OpenJDK candidates; Jakarta EE 12 specifications with milestone 1 releases; the October 2025 edition of the Payara Platform; the GA releases of WildFly 38 and Testcontainers 2.0; and the first release candidates of Spring Framework 7.0 and Spring Data 2025.1.0. OpenJDK JEP 529, Vector API (Eleventh Incubator), has been elevated from its JEP Draft 8328351 to Candidate status. This JEP proposes an eleventh incubation, with no substantial implementation changes since JDK 25, after ten rounds of incubation delivered in JDK 16 through JDK 25."
Multiple major Java projects advanced during the week of October 13th, 2025. OpenJDK elevated JEP 529 (Vector API) and JEP 528 (Post-Mortem Crash Analysis with jcmd) to Candidate status. Build 20 of JDK 26 early-access was released with fixes and developers are encouraged to report bugs. Jakarta EE 12 specifications reached milestone 1 releases. The Payara Platform issued its October 2025 edition. WildFly 38 and Testcontainers 2.0 reached general availability. Spring Framework 7.0 and Spring Data 2025.1.0 published their first release candidates. The Vector API will continue to incubate until Project Valhalla features are available as previews.
