This is not true, I only hope that the first step - two new API methods - can become a part of Java 21. The fourth step must be completed after the first and third steps are completed, or perhaps never.

It just adds two new methods, replacing toLowerCase(ROOT) and toUpperCase(ROOT). I've detailed the reasons for introducing a new API earlier, and I hope you'll take a look at it: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2023-April/104118.html Best regards, Glavo On Sat, Apr 15, 2023 at 5:08 PM Alan Bateman <alan.bate...@oracle.com> wrote: > On 15/04/2023 08:50, Glavo wrote: > > Hi Alan, > > In discussions with others, my thoughts have changed. > > I describe the issue in more detail[1] and have a new plan: > > 1.
