WildFly 19.0.0.Beta2 is released!

[brian.stansberry]

Today we released a second beta for WildFly 19. You can get it from the WildFly download page[1]. Compared to Beta1 this is primarily a bug fix release; it's very close to what we would have released a WildFly 19 Final if we weren't shooting to get in the MicroProfile 3.3 updates this month.  The details of the changes are in the release notes at [2].

Please try it out and give us your feedback!

I expect we'll do another beta in two weeks when we hope to have the MP 3.3 work done, and then WF 19 Final would be released in early March.

Hibernate keeps moving forward and is now on 5.4.12 ( Showing some love for GraalVM: Hibernate ORM 5.4.12.Final is here - In Relation To ), but Wildfly seems to be hanging back on the 5.3.x release (currently 5.3.15). Is there a plan to bump to 5.4 or is 5.3 the branch for the foreseeable future?

I expect WildFly will use Hibernate 5.3 through at least WildFly 21.  After that it's not certain right now whether we would move forward.
