Jackson 2.16.0-rc1 is now released, about 3 weeks after initial announcement.
Help in verifying functionality would be much appreciated: my intent is to only release this one release candidate and: 1. Try not to do any more API changes until 2.16.0 final 2. Bug fixes can still go in 3. Plan for 2.16.0-final within 3 weeks or so (mid-November) if all goes well As usual the release notes can be found here: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.16 and I hope to write a blog post summarizing more important changes.
