Work is now underway on WildFly 17, so I wanted to blog about what I see coming in the next few releases. You can read that at https://wildfly.org/news/2019/03/09/Onward-to_WildFly-17/. I'd love to get your feedback here. I'm particularly interested in peoples' thoughts on what they'd like to see in Jakarta EE 9.

If you're interested in the details of new features that are being worked, I really encourage you to keep an eye on https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pulls and comment on any proposals you see there. I encourage folks who submit a new proposal to post here with a quick intro and a link.

WildFly 17 is scheduled for release three months after 16, continuing the quarterly cadence. Here are the key dates:
  • Fri, May 10 — PRs ready for merge for all features coming in via WildFly Core
  • Tue, May 14 — All features ready for merge
  • Wed, May 15 — WildFly 17 Beta. No new features after this date.
  • Fri, May 24 — All changes for WildFly Core ready
  • Tue, May 28 — All changes for WildFly ready

Best regards,
