Releases: eclipse-ee4j/glassfish
7.0.23
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.23 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
The key feature for this release is making SSH nodes work on the Windows operating system, and while at it improve the way they work on Linux. The team mainly focussed on this work, and a lot of effort went into it. We're really happy to have achieved the goal to have it fully working. Next to that some important fixes were done for logging and specifically a regression for the security principal was fixed.

8.0.0-M10
Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 M5 specification under development.
Jakarta EE 11 M5 is the fifth milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 M5 is functionally complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs. The next Jakarta EE 11 milestone (likely RC1) will focus only on small fixes and small service releases.
GlassFish 8 M10 incorporates all final APIs from the Jakarta EE 11 release plan, except for the Jakarta Data API. Jakarta Data is supported via an external build-time plug-in at the moment. Work is underway to support Jakarta Data natively in GlassFish.
8.0.0-M10 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch, and roughly corresponds to 7.0.21.
The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 M5 APIs included. All of the updated APIs are final.
| API | Implementation | TCK |
|---|---|---|
| jakarta.el-api.version 6.0.0 | Expressly 6.0.0-M2 | jakarta-expression-language-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.annotation-api.version 3.0.0 | ||

| jakarta.persistence-api.version 3.2.0 | EclipseLink 5.0.0-B06 | TCK for EE server not yet available* |
| jakarta.validation-api.version 3.1.0 | Hibernate Validator 8.0.1.Final | jakarta-validation-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.security-api.version 4.0.0 | Soteria 4.0.0 | jakarta-security-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.concurrent-api.version 3.1.0 | Concurro 3.1.0-M5 | jakarta-concurrency-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.faces-api.version 4.1.1 | Mojarra 4.1.2 | jakarta-faces-tck-glassfish |
* EclipseLink outside GF passes
JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.
In this release GlassFish itself compiles, builds and passes the internal tests executed during a build. The PR verification tests all pass as well.
Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.

7.0.22
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.22 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
A smaller release while the OmniFish team is working on perfecting SSH in a separate feature branch. Stil, a few important dependencies have been updated; notably Concurrō (Concurrency), EclipseLink (Persistence) and Jersey (REST). Furthermore, GlassFish has received a few security improvements: the admin flow login was improved by @avpinchuk, and the OmniFish team improved the command logger, which now hides passwords in logged messages.

Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.21 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
This release was all about hunting down a few nasty bugs reported by GlassFish users: restart hanging on fast machines (including ephemeral ports appearing when stopping GlassFish), random 403 responses for authenticated sessions and Faces that was failing to initialize on GlassFish embedded. We're proud to announce that after a lot of research and a lot of work, we were able to squash them all. A special thanks to our users for reporting these and helping us to narrow them down!

Jakarta EE 11 M4 is the fourth milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 M4 is functionally complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs.

Specifically new in GlassFish 8 M9 is support for @Inject of Jakarta Persistence artefacts like the EntityManager. Unlike other APIs in Jakarta EE, Jakarta Persistence delegated this to the platform specification.
8.0.0-M9 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch, and roughly corresponds to 7.0.20.

Release overview
While working on GlassFish 7.1.0 and GlassFish 8, we didn't leave the stable 7.0.x series in the dark.

8.0.0-M8
Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 M4 specification under development.
Jakarta EE 11 M4 is the fourth milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 M4 is functionally complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs. The next Jakarta EE 11 milestone (likely RC1) will focus only on small fixes and small service releases.
GlassFish 8 M8 incorporates all final APIs from the Jakarta EE 11 release plan, except for the Jakarta Data API. Jakarta Data is supported via an external build-time plug-in at the moment. Work is underway to support Jakarta Data natively in GlassFish.
8.0.0-M8 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch.
The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 M4 APIs included. All of the updated APIs are final.
| API | Implementation | TCK |

| jakarta.el-api.version 6.0.0 | Expressly 6.0.0-M2 | jakarta-expression-language-tck-glassfish |

JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.
In this release GlassFish itself compiles, builds and passes the internal tests executed during a build. The PR verification tests all pass as well.
Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.

7.0.18
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.18 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
This release is all about an exciting new feature that allows running GlassFish Embedded from the command line using java -jar glassfish-embedded.jar. It supports configuration via command line arguments and/or config files in the current directory, such as setting the HTTP port, deploying applications passed as arguments and running arbitrary AsAdmin commands at boot. More information about this and demo video is in this pull request. The GlassFish Docker image 7.0.18 supports running applications with GlassFish Embedded natively too.
Aside of that we did a large amount of maintenance for the internal modules nucleus-admin and glassfish, and fixed various issues that were reported by users.

- Runnable Glassfish Embedded by @OndroMih in #25146
- Dynamically update classloader after adding a library with the add-library command by @OndroMih in #25153
