![]() ![]() Instead of making tens of thousands of fixes and delivering close to one hundred JEPs (JDK Enhancement Proposals) every few years, as we did with yesteryear Major Releases, enhancements are delivered in leaner Feature Releases on a more manageable, predictable, six-month schedule. The rate of change over time in the JDK releases has remained largely constant for years, but under the six-month cadence the pace at which production-ready features and improvements are delivered has sharply increased. Oracle announced plans to shorten the time between LTS releases, from three years to two years, so JDK 21 (September 2023) is planned to be the next LTS.Īs we did with previous releases, with Java 20 we celebrate the contributions of many individuals and organizations in the OpenJDK Community - we all build Java, together! JDK 20 Fix Ratio ![]() Oracle JDK 17 ( released on September 14, 2021) is the most recent long-term support (LTS) under the release cadence announced in 2018. Oracle JDK 20 is not a long-term support (LTS) release, therefore it will receive updates only until it is superseded in six months by JDK 21 Oracle now offers JDK 20 for developers, end-users, and enterprises. Java’s ability to boost performance, stability, and security continues to make it the world’s most popular programming language. This level of predictability allows developers to easily manage their adoption of innovation thanks to a steady stream of expected improvements. This release is the 11th Feature Release delivered on time through the six-month release cadence. Oracle is proud to announce the general availability of JDK 20. ![]()
