Greetings!
JDK 19 has now entered Rampdown Phase One (RDP1) [1], which means
that the main-line has been forked into a dedicated JDK 19
stabilization repository. At this point, the overall JDK 19 feature
set is frozen and no additional JEPs will be targeted to JDK 19. The
stabilization repository is open for select bug fixes and, with
approval, late low-risk enhancements per the JDK Release Process
[2]. Any change pushed to the main line is now bound for JDK 20,
unless it is explicitly back-ported to JDK 19.
The next few weeks should be leveraged to try to identify and
resolve as many issues as possible, i.e. before JDK 19 enters the
Release Candidates phase. Moreover, we encourage you to test your
project with the `enable-preview` flag as described in this Quality
Outreach Heads-up [3], and even if you don't intend to use Virtual
Threads in the near future.

## Heads-up - openjdk.java.net ➜ openjdk.org DNS transition
The OpenJDK infrastructure is moving from the old openjdk.java.net
subdomain to the openjdk.org top-level domain. This will affect all
active subdomains (i.e., bugs, cr, db, git, hg, mail, and wiki) and
the old hostnames (*.openjdk.java.net) will now act as aliases for
the new names. No actions are required as this transition should be
transparent and is mostly done. It should be mentioned that

is not changing.

## JDK 19 Early-Access builds
JDK 19 Early-Access builds 26 are now available [4], and are
provided under the GNU General Public License v2, with the Classpath
Exception. The Release Notes are available here [5]. Given that JDK
19 is now in RDP1, the initial JDK 20 Early-Access builds are now
also available [6].
