can also rewatch the Java 25 launch stream[3].

the Java platform!

Phase in just over two months. As of today, three JEPs have already been targeted for
inclusion in JDK 26. If you use JavaFX, please pay attention to the time-sensitive
heads-up below.

> On macOS, the default JavaFX rendering pipeline has been temporarily switched to
Metal since JavaFX 26 early access build 5. This change will remain in place until October
8, 2025. The goal is to enable wider testing of the Metal rendering pipeline.

> # Heads-up - New Leyden Early-Access Builds
>
> The purpose of Leyden early eccess builds is to prototype improvements in startup
time, time to peak performance, and footprint of Java programs, with the hope that some of
these enhancements can eventually be incorporated into future JDK releases. The Java
community is invited to test these prototypes and provide feedback to the Project Leyden
team.
>
> The latest Leyden "premain" prototype[9] introduces several experimental
Ahead-of-Time (AOT) optimizations not yet part of the JDK mainline. These include AOT code
compilation for frequently used methods, AOT generation of dynamic proxies and reflection
data to improve start-up time, and a cache for failed class lookups to speed up repeated
attempts. All these experimental features are, in the Leyden EA2 builds, enabled by
default when creating an AOT cache and can be disabled via specific flags.
>
> More details on how to use these features can be found in the EA2 Release Notes[10].
Feedback should be sent to the leyden-dev[11] mailing list (registration required).
