Greetings!

I hope you had a chance to take some time off. On our side, and despite the summer vacation, everything is on track for the Java 19 GA release on September 20th with JDK 19 now in the Release Candidate Phase [1]. If you haven't done so yet, it is time to start testing your project(s) using JDK 20 Early-Access builds. Speaking of Early-Access builds, there is now a new set of EA builds, i.e., the jextract EA builds. jextract is a tool developed under the Project Panama umbrella whose goal is to mechanically generates Java bindings from native library headers. If you are using the Foreign Function & Memory API (Preview Feature in JDK 19), make sure to check jextract too (see the jextract section below).

## Heads-up - New system properties for `System.out` and `System.err` in JDK 19

Two new system properties, `stdout.encoding` and `stderr.encoding`, have been introduced. The value of these system properties is the encoding used by the standard output (`System.out`) and standard error (`System.err`) streams. The default values of these system properties depend on the platform. The values take on the value of the `native.encoding` property when the platform does not provide streams for the console. The properties can be overridden on the launcher's command line option, with `-D`, to set them to UTF-8 where required. For more details see https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8283620


## Heads-up - SSLSocketImpl finalizer implementation removed in JDK 19

The finalizer implementation in SSLSocket has been removed, with the underlying native resource releases now done by the Socket implementation. With this update, the TLS close_notify messages will no longer be emitted if SSLSocket is not explicitly closed. Not closing Sockets properly is an error condition that should be avoided. Applications should always close sockets and not rely on garbage collection. For more details see https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8212136


## Heads-up - New providerPath jarsigner option in JDK 19

A new `-providerPath` option has been added to the jarsigner. This option is used to specify the class path of an alternate keystore implementation, it can be used together with the -providerClass option. For more details see https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8281175


## JDK 19 Release Candidate builds

JDK 19 first Release Candidates (builds 36) are now available [2], and are provided under the GNU General Public License v2, with the Classpath Exception. The Release Notes are available here [3].

## Jextract Early-Access Builds

Early Access Builds 19-jextract+2-3 (2022/7/19) are now available [6]. These open-source builds are provided under the GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception.

These builds are from the OpenJDK jextract project [7] which is part of Code Tools [8]. jextract is a tool developed under the Panama umbrealla whose goal is to mechanically generate Java bindings from native library headers. These EA builds are intended for advanced users, and are provided as a convenience so that they don't need to build it from the sources. Additional notes on builds, documentation and known issues are available at [6].

Please subscribe to the jextract mailing list [9] to share feedback.

## JDK Update Patch Release

To fix a regression (JDK-8292260) in the C2 JIT compiler, we have produced update patch releases for the impacted supported Java SE versions. The new versions are JDK 18.0.2.1 (publicly available), 17.0.4.1 (publicly available), 11.0.16.1.1, and OpenJDK 18.0.2.1 (publicly available).



As usual, let us know if you find any issues while testing your project(s) on the latest JDK early-access builds. Thanks for your support!
