What’s new?

Preliminary work on Loom’s virtual threads

The Quarkus team started experimenting with Loom’s virtual threads and a first pull request was merged.

It is still very rough and the API will be subject to change but if you are interested in Loom’s virtual threads, feel free to give it a try.

Expect more development and announcements in the coming months.

To learn more about this effort, check out the video of Clément’s and Arthur’s talk.

GraphQL non-blocking support

Quarkus offers both imperative and reactive programmatic paradigms and we work hard making sure both are exposed across the board.

The GraphQL extensions now support non-blocking workloads.

SmallRye Reactive Messaging upgrade

SmallRye Reactive Messaging has been upgraded to 3.16.0.

Kubernetes service binding support for Reactive SQL Clients

We added Kubernetes service binding support for the Reactive SQL Clients extensions.

CacheKeyGenerator for cache extension

The quarkus-cache extension was automatically generating cache keys from method parameters without a way to customize them.

A new contract CacheKeyGenerator was introduced in 2.10 to allow for this customization.

quarkus-bootstrap-maven-plugin deprecated in favor of quarkus-extension-maven-plugin

The quarkus-bootstrap-maven-plugin has been deprecated in favor of the quarkus-extension-maven-plugin.

This only has impact on extension developers who should switch to the new plugin.

We will keep publishing the deprecated plugin for a while so you it is not urgent to switch to the new one.

Better infrastructure for JDBC driver extensions

A contributor started working on a JDBC driver extension for SQLite and we improved the infrastructure for external JDBC driver extensions.

Most notably, it is now possible to indicate which Hibernate ORM dialect should be used by default even for external JDBC driver extensions.

Quiltflower decompiler support

When writing Quarkus extensions, it is often useful to decompile the generated source code to better understand what’s going on.

We used Fernflower for that until now but we have switched to Quiltflower which provides a better output.
