Thank you all for your great work on this. Most of us have been focused this year on work related to EE 10 and WildFly 27. B
ut I'm pleased to say that due to a lot of hard work from our awesome contributors, 26.1 still has a
lot of new things. Learn more about that in my release announcement at https://www.wildfly.org/news/2022/04/14/WildFly261-Final-Released/
This will be the last WildFly feature release that supports Java SE 8. It will also be the last standard WildFly feature release that supports Jakarta EE 8 and MicroProfile 4.1, and will be the last WildFly Preview feature release that supports Jakarta EE 9.1. WildFly 27 will support SE 11 and above and Jakarta EE 10. We do however plan to do a 26.1.1 bug fix release later this spring, as well as 26.1.2 in July or August.
Special thanks Darran Lofthouse who stepped up in a major way to coordinate the 26.1.0.Final release while I was away for a couple weeks.
Best regards,
Brian Stansberry
