Release Notes

JReleaser 0.7.0 Released!

JReleaser is a tool that streamlines creating releases for [Java] projects. This is a small release as core features are mostly complete.

Pi4J V.2 Released!

The Pi4J Project was started in 2012 by Robert Savage, the same year the Raspberry Pi was introduced.

After long rework, the Pi4J library (a friendly object-oriented I/O API and implementation libraries for Java Programmers to access the full I/O capabilities of the Raspberry Pi platform) has taken a big step with the first release of the V.2.

JDK Mission Control 8.1.0 Released!

Yay, the latest release of JDK Mission Control was just released!

Since this is the source release, it may still take a bit of time until the downstream vendors release binary builds of JDK Mission Control 8.1.0.

No-Cost IBM Semeru Runtimes for Java

With the launch of IBM Semeru Runtimes, IBM makes it easier than ever to develop and run Java applications more cost-effectively in hybrid cloud environments, from public cloud to data centers.

IBM Semeru Runtimes use the class libraries from OpenJDK, along with the Eclipse OpenJ9 Java Virtual Machine to enable developers to build and deploy Java applications that will start quickly, deliver great performance, all while using less memory.

JReleaser 0.6.0 Released!

Virtual Foojay OpenJDK 17+ JUG Tour

To celebrate OpenJDK 17 and Foojay.io as a community platform for its users, we’re kicking off the Virtual Foojay OpenJDK 17+ JUG Tour. Ari Waller, JFrog’s Event Manager, well known to many JUGs, will continue to wear a second hat—that of Foojay Event Manager.

During September and October, contributors to Foojay will be making a whistle stop tour through as many JUGs as possible, via their virtual meetups! (And if you’re not holding virtual events or don’t have the facilities for this, we can support by making these available as needed.)

FXGL Game Engine 11.17 Release

The FXGL game engine is now at 11.17. Most of the changes in this release focus on internal code quality and fixes.

Major additions to note:

1. Added download file API to NetService. Using this API developers can download files from any URL. For example, if certain assets are stored remotely.

2. Rotation and scale in 3D now support origin points (pivot points). This is a beneficial addition since some animations will need specific origin points for transformations to achieve the desired effect.
