Rick, All,
The Release Candidates of JDK 18 have been released [1]. At this
stage, only P1 issues will be evaluated [2]. And with the JDK 18
General Availability sets for March 22nd, it is now time to shift the
focus to JDK 19. I'd like to thank those of you who have already
provided feedback on the early Early Builds of JDK 19. Feedback is
always extremely useful, even more, when it comes early in the
development cycle.

## New Project Loom Early-Access builds
Project Loom Early-Access builds19-loom+4-115 (2022/2/13) are
available [7] with the related Javadoc [8].
These EA builds are based on JDK 19 (jdk-19+9). In those builds, the
APIs for Structured Concurrency and Scope Locals have been moved into
the `jdk.incubator.concurrent` incubator module. Note that the module
name may change later. To use those APIs, simply use `--add-modules
jdk.incubator.concurrent` at compile and runtime.
Those EA builds are provided under the GNU General Public License,
version 2, with the Classpath Exception and are produced for the
purpose of gathering feedback. Use for any other purpose is at your
own risk. Proper feedback should be sent to the `loom-dev` mailing
list [9].
