New in release OpenJDK 20.0.0 (2023-03-21):
|
|
===========================================
|
|
Major changes are listed below. Some changes may have been backported
|
|
to earlier releases following their first appearance in OpenJDK 20.
|
|
|

NEW FEATURES
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Language Features
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Pattern Matching for switch
|
|
===========================
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/406
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/420
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/427
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/433
|
|
|
|
Enhance the Java programming language with pattern matching for
|
|
`switch` expressions and statements, along with extensions to the
|
|
language of patterns. Extending pattern matching to `switch` allows an
|
|
expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a
|
|
specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be
|
|
expressed concisely and safely.
|
|
|
|
This is a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) introduced
|
|
in OpenJDK 17 (JEP 406), which saw a second preview in OpenJDK 18 (JEP
|
|
420) and a third in OpenJDK 19 (JEP 427). It reaches its fourth
|
|
preview (JEP 427) in OpenJDK 20.
|
|
|
|
Record Patterns
|
|
===============
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/405
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/432
|
|
|
|
Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to
|
|
deconstruct record values. Record patterns and type patterns can be
|
|
nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data
|
|
navigation and processing.
|
|
|
|
This is a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) introduced
|
|
in OpenJDK 19 (JEP 405). It reaches its second preview (JEP 432) in
|
|
OpenJDK 20.
|
|
|
|
Library Features
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Scoped Values
|
|
=============
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/429
|
|
|
|
Introduce scoped values, which enable the sharing of immutable data
|
|
within and across threads. They are preferred to thread-local
|
|
variables, especially when using large numbers of virtual threads.
|
|
|
|
This is an incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11)
|
|
introduced in OpenJDK 20 (JEP 429).
|
|
|
|
Vector API
|
|
==========
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/338
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/414
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/417
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/426
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/438
|
|
|
|
Introduce an API to express vector computations that reliably compile
|
|
at runtime to optimal vector hardware instructions on supported CPU
|
|
architectures and thus achieve superior performance to equivalent
|
|
scalar computations.
|
|
|
|
This is an incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11)
|
|
introduced in OpenJDK 16 (JEP 338). A second round of incubation took
|
|
place in OpenJDK 17 (JEP 414), OpenJDK 18 (JEP 417) saw a third,
|
|
OpenJDK 19 a fourth (JEP 426) and OpenJDK 20 (JEP 438) sees its fifth.
|
|
|
|
Foreign Function & Memory API
|
|
=============================
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/412
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/419
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/424
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/434
|
|
|
|
Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with code and
|
|
data outside of the Java runtime. By efficiently invoking foreign
|
|
functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing
|
|
foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables
|
|
Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without
|
|
the brittleness and danger of JNI.
|
|
|
|
This API is now a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12).
|
|
It was first introduced in incubation
|
|
(https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11) in OpenJDK 17 (JEP 412), and is an
|
|
evolution of the Foreign Memory Access API (OpenJDK 14 through 16) and
|
|
Foreign Linker API (OpenJDK 16) (see release notes for
|
|
java-17-openjdk). OpenJDK 18 saw a second round of incubation (JEP
|
|
419) before its inclusion as a preview in OpenJDK 19 (JEP 424). It
|
|
reaches a second preview in OpenJDK 20 (JEP 434).
|
|
|
|
Virtual Threads
|
|
===============
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/425
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/436
|
|
|
|
Introduce virtual threads to the Java Platform. Virtual threads are
|
|
lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing,
|
|
maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications.
|
|
|
|
This is a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) introduced
|
|
in OpenJDK 19 (JEP 425) and reaching its second preview in OpenJDK 20
|
|
(JEP 436).
|
|
|
|
Structured Concurrency
|
|
======================
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/428
|
|
https://openjdk.org/jeps/437
|
|
|
|
Simplify multithreaded programming by introducing an API for
|
|
structured concurrency. Structured concurrency treats multiple tasks
|
|
running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby
|
|
streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability,
|
|
and enhancing observability.
|
|
|
|
This is an incubation feature (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/11)
|
|
introduced in OpenJDK 19 (JEP 428). A second round of incubation takes
|
|
place in OpenJDK 20 (JEP 437).
