New WildFly 40 Beta release

I am excited to announce the release of WildFly 40 Beta 1, this release has taken is a little longer than expected, but we hope you appreciate the changes it brings.

In our previous releases we have been adding our EE 11 implementations to the WildFly Preview distribution, we have now brought our EE 11 integration into the default WildFly Distribution. This means that you can now use the latest EE 11 features in your applications without needing to switch to a separate distribution.

At the same time, we understand many of you are invested in your EE10 installations, so we have you covered with a new WildFly EE10 Distribution available from the downloads page.

On the security front many users have been asking for an integration with Hashicorp Vault, and we are pleased to announce that this is also available for WildFly 40 in the form of a feature pack. Please visit the blog post for more details on how to get started with this integration.

These are just a couple of the highlights with many more changes made to WildFly. Preparing the release notes GitHub tells me over 30 people contributed to this release and that does not include all of the people working on the components that make WildFly possible so we thank everyone for your contributions.

We encourage you to explore the full list of changes in the official release notes.

How to Get Involved

This is a beta release, so we don’t recommend it for production environments. Your feedback is crucial to help us identify and fix issues before the final release.

We look forward to hearing your feedback and working together to make WildFly 40 the best release yet!
