Scoped values preview, key encapsulation mechanism API, a new JFR command, and various API improvements. Generational Shenandoah is out, though, and it doesn't look good for the 32-bit Windows port either.2023-06-22All That is in Java 21?! 😱 - Inside Java Newscast #50#video#java‑21JDK 21 is almost too good to be true: It finalizes virtual threads, sequenced collections, generational ZGC, and the pattern matching basics; and evolves and introduces over half a dozen other features.2023-06-08Script Java Easily in 21 and Beyond - Inside Java Newscast #49#video#java‑basicsTo give Java and programming beginners a better learning path, JEP 445 proposes to allow stand-alone main methods that are non-public, non-static, and don't have an args array and we're also JEP draft for multi-file programs2023-05-25Save 10-20% Memory With Compact Headers - Inside Java Newscast #48#video#performanceJDK Enhancement Proposal 450 proposes to merge a compressed class word into the mark word to reduce object header size on 64-but systems from 96-128 bits to 64 bits, thus saving 10-20% of heap space2023-05-11Getting Rid Of Unused Variables (Finally) - Inside Java Newscast #46#video#pattern‑matchingJEP 443 proposes to add unnamed variables and patterns to Java.
