API differences in Hibernate ORM 5.1 vs 5.3
by Gail Badner
Hi,
There were lots of differences in the compatibility report, so as a first
step, I've excluded packages/classes that I considered SPI, internal, or
"grey area". This reduced the the differences to a more manageable amount.
You can see a summary of the incompatibilities along with suggested
mitigation at [1].
The report is attached to [1], along with a zip with instructions for
running the report.
I believe there are some "false positives" in the report, and I have
documented them in the section, "False Positives?".
Feel free to comment on the article.
Thanks,
Gail

IP banned from forum
by Gunnar Morling
Hi,
Is anyone banning users from the forum? I am getting "A ban has been
issued on your IP address."
I don't think banning by IP is a good strategy as many users will have
dynamic IPs from their hoster's shared pool, so it's a random game to
hit an IP previously banned due to some other user's spam.
Thanks,

New CI machine preview
by Sanne Grinovero
You're all welcome to play with http://54.225.162.168/
however please keep these in mind:
- it's not the final machine: don't put too much effort in creating
nice build scripts as we'll reset it to clean state soon. We *might*
be able to store jobs defined so far, but we might choose not to.
- domain name should be coming: ci.hibernate.org ..not sure when, got
no replies so far from.
- authentication: just click on login, it will use OAuth2 to request
your identity via your GitHub account. Permissions to create new jobs,
edit existing jobs, run a build manually depend on your github account
be part of the Hibernate organization (or not, in which case you have
read only status)
At this stage I'd like to get a feeling if the hardware is powerful
enough, and also we need to select which other plugins we want to use,
I'm looking especially to:
- static analysis reports
- pull requests integration
both are relatively undefined, we can of course start simple and
improve later.. just checking this fits basic needs now.

JDK 20 Rampdown Phase 1 & Valhalla LW4 Early-Access builds
by David Delabassee
Welcome to the final OpenJDK Quality Outreach update for 2022!
JDK 20, scheduled for General Availability on March 21 2023, is now in
Rampdown Phase One (RDP1) [1]. At this point, the overall JDK 20 [2]
feature set is frozen (see below the final list of JEPs integrated into
JDK 20) and only low-risk enhancements might still be considered. The
coming weeks should be used to identify and resolve as many issues as
possible, i.e. before JDK 20 enters the Release Candidates phase in
early February 2023.
## JDK 20 Early-Access builds
The latest Early-Access (builds 27) are available [2] with the Release
Notes here [3]. Those builds are provided under the GNU GPL v2, with the
Classpath Exception.
### JEPs integrated into JDK 20:
- JEP 429: Scoped Values (Incubator)
- JEP 432: Record Patterns (2nd Preview)
- JEP 433: Pattern Matching for switch (4th Preview)
- JEP 434: Foreign Function & Memory API (2nd Preview)
- JEP 436: Virtual Threads (2nd Preview)
- JEP 437: Structured Concurrency (2nd Incubator)

## Heads-up - JDK 21: First Early-Access Builds
When JDK 20 entered RDP1 [4], the JDK mainline [5] was (a) forked into a
JDK 20 stabilization repository [6], and (b) set to JDK 21. As a
consequence, the first JDK 21 Early-Access builds have been published [7].

## Heads-up - Valhalla: LW4 Early-Access Builds
Valhalla LW4 early-access builds have been published [8], those builds
are primarily focused on implementing the Value Objects JEP draft [9].
For additional details on those EA builds, make sure to read these LW4
release notes [10]. For a more hands-on introduction to Value Object,
you can watch the latest JEP Café: Java Value Objects in Action [11].
Interested developers are encouraged to explore the performance and
migration impact of value objects on their applications, and to provide
feedback to the valhalla-dev [12] mailing list.

## Heads-up - Generational ZGC: New Early-Access Builds
New Generational ZGC [13] Early-Access Builds have been updated recently
[14]. These EA builds are provided under the GNU GPL v2, with the
Classpath Exception.
### Changes include :
- Rebased on top of jdk-20+21
- Added macOS builds
- Heuristics rewriten to deal with a problematic case where Generational
ZGC spent too much focus on doing young generation collection when it’s
more beneficial to spend resources to collect the old generation.
- GC logging rewriten to easier see what log lines belong to what
collection / generation, plus many additional changes that should make
it easier to read and understand GC logs
- Barrier elision enhanced to remove barriers from array access of newly
allocated arrays
- Enhanced the generated hs_err crash text file
- Fixed and unified code quality and style
For more information, make sure to watch this Inside Java Newscast [15]
dedicated on Generational ZGC. Feedback should be sent to the zgc-dev
mailing list [16].

## JavaFX 20 Early-Access Builds
These are early access builds of the JavaFX 20 Runtime, built from
openjdk/jfx [17]. They allow JavaFX application developers to build and
test their applications with JavaFX 20 on JDK 20. The latest builds 10
(2022/12/5) are now available [18] with javadoc here [19]. Feedback
should be forwarded to the openjfx-dev [19] mailing list. For more
details, you might want to listen this Inside Java podcast episode [20].

As usual, let us know if you find any quirks while testing your
project(s) on the latest JDK early-access builds. As year-end is
approaching, I'd like to thank you for being part of the OpenJDK Quality
Outreach Program. I hope that you will disconnect a bit to spend time
with your family and your friends. See you in 2023 with Java 20 and Java 21!
