GraalVM Release Calendar

GraalVM aligns with the six-month JDK release cadence and uses the JDK numbering scheme (for example, “GraalVM for JDK 21.0.3”).

Feature Release

There are two feature releases per year to support the latest JDK version. A new feature release supersedes all previous releases.

Critical Patch Update (CPU)

Critical Patch Updates (CPU) for Oracle GraalVM and GraalVM Community Edition follow the schedule for all Oracle CPU and OpenJDK CPU releases respectively. Critical Patch Updates are released on the third Tuesday of January, April, July, and October. All active releases receive patch updates.

Long-Term-Support (LTS) Release

Oracle GraalVM for JDK 21 is the current long-term support (LTS) release and will receive free updates under the GraalVM Free Terms and Conditions (GFTC) including License for Early Adopter Versions license until one full year after the subsequent LTS release, which is JDK 25. Oracle also provides customers of Oracle GraalVM and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition with Oracle Premier Support.
