A draft of the Specification is available here: https://cr.openjdk.org/~iris/se/26/spec/draft/java-se-26-draft-spec-29/ This draft includes the following: - Annexes 1 - 11 o Update based on build 29 The next JCP milestone is PR, scheduled for January 2026. As usual with milestones, we'll take a snapshot of the current Specification (without changebars) and submit it for publication. I anticipate PR submission to the PMO January, for publication later that month.

Such algorithms defend against future quantum computing attacks by combining a quantum-resistant algorithm with a traditional algorithm. Applications that use the javax.net.ssl APIs will benefit from these improved algorithms by default, without change to existing code. The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Mon 19 Jan 20:00 UTC: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2026-January/010723.html If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in the specified release of the JDK Project. For more information about states, see the JEP Process document: https://openjdk.org/jeps/1 A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this page: https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/27/spec/ Thanks, Iris From iris.clark at oracle.com Thu Jan 15 21:01:21 2026 From: iris.clark at oracle.com (Iris Clark) Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 21:01:21 +0000 Subject: JSR 401 (Java SE 26) Specification -- DRAFT 31 / PR DRAFT 2 Message-ID: Hi.
