GraalVM Community Edition Release Calendar

Starting in 2023, GraalVM Community Edition will align with the six-month JDK release cadence. There will be two feature releases per year to support the latest JDK version. A new feature release supersedes all previous releases. GraalVM releases are named for the JDK release they provide, for example, GraalVM for JDK 17.

Prior to 2023, GraalVM Community Edition release numbering was based on the calendar year, for example, 19.x, 20.x, 21.x, and 22.x.

Critical Patch Update (CPU)

GraalVM Community Critical Patch Updates (CPU) are based on the final GA-tagged OpenJDK CPU changes and will become available shortly after the OpenJDK CPU. There will be four CPU releases per year.
