What's New in Java 11, 12, 13
summary
Covers Java 11–13 changes: release cadence moved to six-months with long‑term support only and recommends AdoptOpenJDK/Azul/Red Hat/Amazon Corretto as alternatives to paid Oracle JDK. Describes garbage-collector work — G1 pause-splitting and periodic full scans, new Epsilon no-op GC for short-lived/deterministic runs, and experimental low‑pause collectors ZGC/Shenandoah using colored pointers and barriers — and lists API/language additions like var in lambda params, new String and Files methods, standardized HttpClient, switch expressions and preview text blocks.
