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!
