Josh Juneau, Luciano Manelli · Apress eBooks · 2022
Since Java 9, newer versions of Java follow every six months, but this is a long-term support (LTS). It receives support for at least eight years and surely until the next LTS version in 2023. Each release of the JDK brings new enhancements and capabilities to the Java platform. Since the last version of this book, many enhancements have occurred. This book includes several recipes covering the new features from Java 9 to Java 17. Each release also carries backward compatibility with previous releases. This chapter showcases a few of the top enhancements to whet your appetite. By no means is this chapter a complete listing of all Java enhancements. Rather, it is a jump start to get you going on some of the hot new features of Java up to the last version.
