Yay — building on JDK 26! 🎉 To contribute at least some testing, last week I migrated a web/app pet project with quite a bit of traffic ( https://www.neytandinn.is/ ) from 5.0-M1 to the current 5.0-SNAPSHOT. Not huge by not-a-tiny-island-nation standards, but still gets quite some thrashing thanks to the recent inflow of AI crawlers (which love the data). Uses things that make it a semi-fine candidate for testing; commitlog module, lifecycle event hooks/listeners, and makes heavy use of concurrent querying in VirtualThreads. Also keeps tight track of every error/exception that occurs during R-R — and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary since migrating. So once 5.0-M2 is out, I'll be migrating the rest of my projects from 5.0-M1.
Looking forward to having time to try out the agentic stuff. Even without that, I've been very pleased with how well at least Claude handles working with Cayenne and writing Cayenne code/queries.
