Quarkus 3.15 - new LTS version

It is our pleasure to announce the release of Quarkus 3.15, which is our new LTS (Long Term Support) version.

This version is built on the top of Quarkus 3.14 with some additional bugfixes. New features will come with Quarkus 3.16 that we will release at the end of October.

If you want to know more about our LTS policy, the LTS announcement is a must read.

LTS releases are supported for 12 months.

If you are coming from the previous LTS, Quarkus 3.8, there are a lot of exciting new features and we recommend reading the following announcements:

Update

To update to Quarkus 3.15, we recommend updating to the latest version of the Quarkus CLI and run:

quarkus update

Note that quarkus update can update your applications from any version of Quarkus (including 2.x) to Quarkus 3.15 LTS.

If you are upgrading from 3.14, there’s nothing to do as 3.15 is the direct continuation of 3.14.

If you are upgrading from the previous LTS, Quarkus 3.8, please refer to the following migration guides:

Note that quarkus update should handle most of the heavy lifting for you, but there are still cases that should be handled manually and we recommend reading these migration guides carefully.

Keep in mind that we try to reduce the upgrade complexity by making the transition smoother. For instance, when renaming artifacts, we provide relocations and these relocations are kept until the next LTS is released.

quarkus-resteasy-reactive was renamed to quarkus-rest in Quarkus 3.9, the relocation is still in place in Quarkus 3.15 and has been dropped only for the upcoming Quarkus 3.16, allowing you a smoother transition to 3.15. It is recommended to move to the new artifacts but it is not mandated for 3.15 (again, quarkus update will take care of it if you’re using it).
