Quarkus 4.0.0.Beta1 Released With Java 17 Requirement
The first beta release of Quarkus 4.0 updates the framework's baseline to Java 17 and invites developers to test core API stability before the final launch.
Quarkus 4.0.0.Beta1 is now available for download through standard dependency management repositories.
This beta release sets the minimum Java version requirement to Java 17. Users operating on Java 11 must update their environments to adopt this version of the framework.
The upgrade to Java 17 establishes a new baseline for the project, enabling better integration with newer language features. The release also includes internal refinements and bug fixes intended to improve framework stability.
Core APIs are stabilizing in this version, allowing early adopters to test their applications against the new baseline and provide feedback to the development team before the final 4.0 release.
Developers should review existing projects for changes in compatibility and underlying dependencies. Detailed instructions for updating projects and a complete list of changes are available through the official project documentation.
