Migration Guide
To migrate from 2.13, please refer to our migration guide.
What’s new?
Jandex 3
Jandex, our class and annotation indexer, is at the core of Quarkus. With Quarkus 2.14, Jandex has been upgraded to the brand new Jandex 3.
The project has moved under the SmallRye umbrella and the groupId has been changed to io.smallrye.
The package name was kept identical.
It should be transparent for you, except if you have an explicit dependency to Jandex.
In this case, while a relocation has been put in place, it is recommended to adjust the groupId to io.smallrye.
Jandex 3 comes with a lot of improvements that will simplify the development of Quarkus extensions.
OpenTelemetry
opentelemetry-exporter-otlp is now the default exporter for OpenTelemetry and has been included into the quarkus-opentelemetry extension.
opentelemetry-exporter-jaeger has been moved to the Quarkiverse Hub: https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-opentelemetry-exporter.
Relocations have been put in place to simplify migrations.
Redis
The work on implementing Redis commands in our Redis extension API continues. In Quarkus 2.14, support for JSON commands, graph commands and probabilistic data structures has been added.
Infinispan
Support for caching annotations has been added to the Infinispan Client extension. You can find more about it in the dedicated section of the guide.
GraalVM/Mandrel upgrade coming soon
Quarkus 2.14.0.Final is still targeting GraalVM/Mandrel 22.2 but an upgrade to 22.3 is planned for Quarkus 2.14.1.Final, which will be released next week.
In Quarkus 2.14, the minimum GraalVM/Mandrel version is now 22.2.0.
