| <p>One month has passed since NetBeans 11.2 had been released. There are 82 new PR-s made it to the master branch so far. We usually have a, not necessary intentional, "theme" for each release. I'd say the theme is for 11.3 is: "Remove the Rust".</p> |
| <p>Our code and libraries spent long time in the transit. Many of our modules were still compiling against Java 1.6 and/or used ancient versions of third party libraries. 11.3 improved a lot on this front and there are still many PR are in the queue to carry that on.<br /> |
| Without trying to be complete, here is a small list of changes what's coming:</p> |
| <p>- Jgit Library Update<br /> |
| - ASM, PostgreSQL, JUnit5 and Other Library Updates.<br /> |
| - PHP Fixes<br /> |
| - HTML Lexer Stability Improvements<br /> |
| - JSF 2.3 Support<br /> |
| - Gradle Tooling 6.0<br /> |
| - Several Cleanups, Remove Compile Warnings</p> |
| <p>On the UI Side:<br /> |
| - Return of Dark Metal and Dark Nimbus Look and Feel<br /> |
| - Experimental support for Flatlaf Look and Feel</p> |
| <p>On Gradle Side:<br /> |
| - Test Output is Channeled Back to the IDE<br /> |
| - Added Project Reload Action<br /> |
| - Elephant Icons Finally Replace the old Ones</p> |
