As new LTS releases come out, Patch My PC will add them as new products and provide update definitions until that LTS release hits end-of-life.ġ major drawback to this new method is that deployments for this new methodology is that if both 'Zulu JDK Latest' and any of the Zulu JDK LTS releases are selected as a product in Patch My PC, there is a chance of 2 updates being applicable on a single device (say if Zulu JDK Latest and Zulu JDK 8 are both selected and deployed to a device with an old version of Zulu JDK 8, that device will get both updates as applicable and the version that the device will end up with is Zulu JDK Latest).Ĭustomers will not need to update their product selections as oftenĬustomers will be able to update to the latest version of Java without an application deployment (Zulu JDK Latest will update any version to the latest, so app deployments to update between major versions are unnecessary) Switching to this method will allow our customers to choose if they want to patch OpenJDK to the latest available, or stay on a supported LTS release.

This product if selected and deployed will only upgrade existing Zulu JDK 11 installations to the latest version of Zulu JDK 11 This product if selected and deployed will only upgrade existing Zulu JDK 8 installations to the latest version of Zulu JDK 8 If this product is selected and deployed, the latest JDK version available will be deployed, this product will upgrade all versions of Azul OpenJDK on applicable devices to the latest available.

In the catalog, we will have the following Products: We believe this is counter to the intentions of these latest releases of Java and are proposing the following (only for Zulu OpenJDK at this time). We am looking for feedback on this:Ĭurrently (for Oracle Java), we create a new product in the catalog for every major Java release (11, 14, 15, etc.), and only allow our updates to update existing versions of java that are of the same major release. We are going to be trying something a bit different with this app, and may take the behavior over to the other Java releases if this works well.

JEP 358: Better information regarding NullPointerExceptions, to allow for better debugging and troubleshooting of a commonly-encountered set of program errors.

JEP 361: Extended enhancements to the switch expression, standardising the features first previewed in JDK 12 and JDK 13.

Notable JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) include: The company says that open source projects and enterprises alike regularly use Zulu builds of OpenJDK 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15EA (early access) to create, run and test Java applications. “The Java platform continues to evolve rapidly in anticipation of the requirements of the next generation of Java-based applications and infrastructure.” “The Java SE 14 specification brings a compelling new set of features and enhancements to the OpenJDK project,” said Scott Sellers, Azul Systems president and CEO.

In terms of notable records, Azul’s Zulu distributions of OpenJDK have delivered the widest range of versions, package types, OS platform and processor support of all OpenJDK distributions.
