New in release OpenJDK 19.0.0 (2022-09-20):
===========================================
Major changes are listed below. Some changes may have been backported
to earlier releases following their first appearance in OpenJDK 19.

NEW FEATURES
============
Language Features
=================
Pattern Matching for switch
===========================
https://openjdk.org/jeps/406
https://openjdk.org/jeps/420
https://openjdk.org/jeps/427
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 was a preview feature (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/12) in
OpenJDK 17 (JEP 406) and saw a second preview in OpenJDK 18 (JEP 420).
It reaches its third preview (JEP 427) in OpenJDK 19.
Record Patterns
===============
https://openjdk.org/jeps/405
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)
Library Features
================
Vector API
==========
https://openjdk.org/jeps/338
https://openjdk.org/jeps/414
https://openjdk.org/jeps/417
https://openjdk.org/jeps/426
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 and
OpenJDK 19 sees its fourth (JEP 426).
Foreign Function & Memory API
=============================
https://openjdk.org/jeps/412
https://openjdk.org/jeps/419
https://openjdk.org/jeps/424
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).
Virtual Threads
===============
https://openjdk.org/jeps/425
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)
Structured Concurrency
======================
https://openjdk.org/jeps/428
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).
Ports
=====
Linux/RISC-V Port
=================
https://openjdk.org/jeps/422
RISC-V is a free and open-source RISC instruction set architecture
(ISA) designed originally at the University of California, Berkeley,
and now developed collaboratively under the sponsorship of RISC-V
International. It is already supported by a wide range of language
toolchains. With the increasing availability of RISC-V hardware, a
port of the JDK would be valuable.
