on one hand, I'm pretty ok with this, it helps more understanding that "hey, you're several security patches behind!" rather than just hiding the information in a build number.
what's not really clear at least from the article, how will new APIs be rolled out with this faster release cycle?
- dragonwriter 9y agoNew APIs will be part of the every 6 months feature releases. Which means if you aren't on the LTS, you need to stay up with feature releases to get security updates after 6 months.
- needusername 9y agoAlso old APIs can be removed part of the every 6 months feature releases. In theory an API can be deprecated in Java 10 and removed in Java 11.
