8.2.1 means NetBeans 8.2 Patch 1. It is planned to be delivered around 
Dec 15th as modules on Update Center.
http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansPatchesProcess

NetBeans 9 charter is to support JDK9 feature namely modules and JavaShell.
And in the meantime donation to Apache will happen.

Martin

Unfortunately that page does not seem to be updated regularly - for example now I see 8.2.1 is scheduled for mid-December (in two weeks), but there is no information about that release.

Really. Currently performance is the major disappointment for me in NetBeans. Of course I'm talking about 'production size project', where I really need IDE, not just Notepad.

Some of them live for years already. I've reported my findings in bugzilla and during last month got some feedback only for 10-15% of them.  It seems that performance is still not the point of concern here :(
