Going forward, Oracle has committed to an even faster LTS release cadence, from three years to two. Since the previous JDK 11 LTS released three years ago, more than 70 JEPs have been implemented. It is, the company says, the result of the ongoing collaboration among Oracle engineers and other members of the Java developer community via the OpenJDK Community and the JCP. This LTS is on schedule with the accelerated release cadence Oracle announced in 2017, when the company committed to releasing a new version of the JDK every six months, in March and September. 415: Context-Specific Deserialization Filters.412: Foreign Function & Memory API (Incubator).411: Deprecate the Security Manager for Removal.410: Remove the Experimental AOT and JIT Compiler.406: Pattern Matching for switch (Preview).403: Strongly Encapsulate JDK Internals.
