What’s new?

Programmatic API to create Reactive REST Clients

Until now, you could only create Reactive REST Clients by configuring them in the application.properties, which was enough in most cases but could be problematic if you wanted to create dynamic clients.

Starting with 3.1, you can create Reactive REST Clients programmatically via a new API.

Please refer to the documentation for more details.

More flexibility for streaming responses

RESTEasy Reactive offers more flexiblity for streaming responses: you can now customize the response headers and status code.

Reactive variant of Security Jakarta Persistence extension

The Security Jakarta Persistence extension, which allows to store users in a database using Jakarta Persistence, has now a reactive variant based on Hibernate Reactive: quarkus-security-jpa-reactive.

Verify OIDC ID token audience by default

Starting with Quarkus 3.1, the OIDC ID token audience is now verified by default.

You can use the quarkus.oidc.token.audience configuration property to override the default check.

Kotlin 1.8.21

We updated Kotlin to 1.8.21.

Oracle JDBC driver update

The Oracle JDBC driver has been updated to 23.2.0.0.
