Abstract
Java 25 is the latest release with wide-ranging long-term support. It's a doozy and Java 26 is following hot on its heels:
- from module imports to improved pattern matching
- from structured concurrency to HTTP/3
- from simpler `main` to launching multi-source-file programs
- from better performance to quantum-resistant encryption
There are plenty of features in the language, API, and runtime to discuss - whether new, improved, or finalized. So let's go over them!

Nicolai (aka nipafx) is a Java enthusiast focused on language features, core APIs, and runtime evolution with a passion for learning and sharing. He does that mostly at conferences and in his biweekly Inside Java Newscast, but also occasionally in podcasts, live streams, articles, and books - more on all that on nipafx.dev. He's a Java Developer Advocate at Oracle and otherwise best known for his haircut.
