JAVA 8 LATEST VERSION HOW TO

News for my CF audience (getting the Java updates from Adobe or Oracle, how to update, why you should NOT for now use Java 17 with CF, etc).

What about other JVM distributions besides Oracle?.Finding more info on these Jan 2023 Java updates.

For more, see another post I created.įor some folks, that's all they need to hear. Update: After posting this, I learned of some rather surprising implications of a new feature of the new JDK installer, as 11.0.18 or 17.0.6 and later. And as is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes as each other, though not always. Oracle calls them 'critical patch updates' (yep, CPU), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that 'critical' nomenclature may be a bit overstated. For more on each of them, including what changed and the security fixes they each contain (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), see the Oracle resources I list below. (Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, so 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.) Here's a heads-up that some will want to hear about: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 17, 2023) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the current interim update 19.
