We are pleased to announce Helidon 4.0.0-ALPHA1. The big news in this release is the introduction of Helidon Nima -- the foundation of the next generation of Helidon. Nima's server implementation is written from the ground up to take advantage of virtual threads from JDK Project Loom.
This is an Alpha build of Helidon 4.0.0. It is experimental and intended as a technology preview only. Do not use this release in production. APIs are subject to change and functionality is incomplete. Over the upcoming months we will have additional 4.0.0 Alpha builds as we continue to migrate code to Nima.
JDK 19 Early Access is required to use Helidon 4.0.0-ALPHA1.
