[hibernate-dev] JDK 19: Rampdown Phase 2 + JavaOne

Greetings! JDK 19 is now in Rampdown Phase Two [1]. The overall feature set is frozen. Per the JDK Release Process [2] we now turn our focus to P1 and P2 bugs, which can be fixed with approval [3]. Late enhancements are still possible, with approval, but the bar is now extraordinarily high [4]. Given the current state of affairs, it is a good time to start testing your project(s) on JDK 20 Early-Access builds. To conclude, please make sure to check the heads-up below, including the one covering JavaOne!

After a long hiatus, JavaOne is back! From October 17-20 in Las Vegas, JavaOne will be jam-packed with hundreds of valuable and actionable sessions directly from the experts: learning sessions, tutorials, hands-on labs, lightning talks, panels, an unconference, BoF's, etc. The full JavaOne content catalog will be released soon. In the meantime, make sure to check https://inside.java/javaone/ for more updates. And if you are planning to attend JavaOne, please ping me. I'd like to meet you in person to chat over OpenJDK and the Quality Outreach program. And the drinks will be on me! ## Heads-up - JavaFX Media enhancements survey The JavaFX team is conducting a short survey [5] to gather input on potential JavaFX Media enhancements. The process is quite simple as the feedback will be collected via the openjfx-dev [6] mailing list. So if you are using JavaFX, make sure to raise your voice.
