Welcome! This is the last Quality Outreach note before JDK 27 enters Rampdo=
wn Phase One (RDP1) in early June, with the GA release planned for Septembe=
r. It is also worth mentioning that recent JDK 27 EA builds include fixes f=
or issues reported by projects participating in the Quality Outreach effort=
, including Tomcat, Hibernate, and jOOQ. Thanks to them for their continued=
 collaboration and testing!

I=92ll conclude this brief update by encouraging everyone to review the QO =
heads-up below. It only takes a few minutes, but doing so can sometimes sav=
e a lot of time down the road!


# Heads-Up - JDK 27: Post-Quantum Hybrid Key Exchange for TLS 1.3

JDK 27 early-access builds now integrate JEP 527, which adds hybrid post-qu=
antum key exchange support for TLS 1.3 to Java. This approach combines clas=
sical elliptic-curve cryptography with the quantum-resistant ML-KEM algorit=
hm to help mitigate =93harvest now, decrypt later=94 attacks.

By default, Java applications using the standard `javax.net.ssl` APIs will =
automatically negotiate hybrid post-quantum key exchange when supported by =
both client and server, unless the application explicitly overrides the def=
ault TLS named groups. The X25519MLKEM768 hybrid group is enabled alongside=
 existing classical groups, while additional hybrid configurations can be c=
ontrolled through `jdk.tls.namedGroups` or `SSLParameters::setNamedGroups`.

For more information, see [1].

# Heads-Up - JDK 27: Removal of Deprecated Java Launcher Options

Support for the options `-noclassgc`, `-verifyremote`, `-Xverify:none`, and=
 `-noverify`, which were deprecated several releases ago, is removed from t=
he Java launcher in JDK 27, and usage of any of these options will fail wit=
h an error.

In the case of the former two, `-Xnoclassgc` and `-Xverify:remote` should b=
e used instead. No alternative is being provided for `-Xverify:none` and `-=
noverify`, as disabling bytecode verification (which is what these two opti=
ons do) is not recommended.

For more information, see [2].

# Heads-Up - JDK 26: Final Field Mutation Warnings

Java's reflection API allows the mutation of final fields outside of constr=
uction. This undermines the integrity of the language, which promises exact=
ly-once semantics for final field assignment. This, in turn, has negative d=
ownstream effects for integrity, performance, and security.

With JDK 26, Java has moved toward =93integrity by default=94 for final fie=
lds, with the JVM now emitting warnings when code attempts to mutate final =
fields reflectively. These new warnings can be disabled using command-line =
options. The permanent option `--enable-final-field-mutation` allows specif=
ic modules to mutate final fields. The temporary option `--illegal-final-fi=
eld-mutation`, with values `warn` (the default in JDK 26), `allow`, `debug`=
, or `deny` (the future default), controls how code without specific permis=
sion attempting to mutate final fields will be handled.

For more information, see [3] and [4].

# JavaFX Direct3D 12 Early-Access Builds

New early-access JavaFX builds implementing the new Direct3D 12 graphics re=
ndering pipeline for Windows x64 are now available[8].  The goal of this EA=
 builds is to solicit feedback as we work toward integrating this functiona=
lity into JavaFX. Feedback can be sent to the openjfx-dev[9] mailing list (=
registration required).
