+title: Cayenne 5.0 Milestone 2 Released
+date: 2026-06-24T12:00:00+03:00
+---
+
+Apache Cayenne development team is glad to announce the second milestone of a
new major version of Cayenne.
+The latest version can be downloaded from [here](/download.html).
+
+**NOTE:** Since this is Milestone 2, please see [Milestone
1](/2024/09/cayenne-50m1-released/) release notes for more information on
Cayenne 5.
+
+### Incompatible Changes
+
+#### Java Version
+
+The minimum required Java version is now **Java 21**, Java 8 and 11 are no
longer supported.
+
+#### Maven Dependency
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+ <groupId>org.apache.cayenne</groupId>
+ <artifactId>cayenne</artifactId>
+ <version>5.0-M2</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+For more details about incompatible changes and deprecations, please consult
the [upgrade
notes](https://github.com/apache/cayenne/blob/cayenne-parent-5.0-M2/UPGRADE.md).
+
+### Notable New Features
+
+#### AI-Assisted Development
+
+Native support for AI-assisted development. This includes an MCP server
bundled with the Modeler that allows your favorite agent to (A) open your
project in the Modeler, (B) run DB Import, (C) run cgen. MCP works with any
agent of course. Additionally, there is a plugin for Claude Code with a number
of typical "skills". See the docs for details:
https://cayenne.apache.org/docs/5.0/cayenne-guide/agentic-coding/ And we'd
love feedback on this too.
+
+#### Modeler Polished
+
+Claude Code was used to polish the Modeler. While it generally looks the same
as before, active users will notice that a number of small annoying UI/UX
issues were fixed. If your own pet Modeler bug/quirk is not yet addressed,
please let us know on the mailing list.
