Thanks very much. Is there a Semeru Program product support website where I can 
track developments?

Let's take these in order:

1. CICS: Yes, with CICS Transaction Server 6.1 for z/OS. Expected General 
Availability of CICS TS 6.1 is this Friday, June 17, 2022.

2. IMS: I assume you're asking about JMP and JBP regions. In the pipeline I 
believe, but I have no inside information. However, you should already be able 
to do certain important things with IMS from Semeru VMs such as connect to IMS 
DB via JDBC.

3. z/OS Connect: The latest release (3.0.57) uses embedded Liberty 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://22.0.0.4__;!!GryZGb6B1VCs0SfC!UY5hrlIhs-gMezKJGsDaYQt4WoCHR-CzbkI0bo0OlZv1N61vNfR_yDi_SP6sFzeE$
 . This release of Liberty is supported on the IBM Semeru Runtime. However, I 
don't think IBM has quite connected the dots yet back to z/OS Connect since 
it's not necessarily only a lift and shift at the application level due to 
possible deprecations (see below).

4. z/OSMF: In the pipeline I believe, but I have no inside information.

#3 and #4 are somewhat less exciting since they're used as embedded runtimes, 
and IBM supports the runtimes on IBM's lifecycle. OpenJDK 11/Semeru 11 have 
deprecations compared to Java 8, and those have to be checked. In particular 
the security implementation changes. #1 and #2 are arguably the more 
interesting/urgent ones since those are directly programmed environments.
