Hi,
A few questions on the future direction of the project.
It seems like Project Panama is still in preview mode as of JDK 24. Is that
correct?
No, it's a stable regular part of Java since Java 22. Availability of
the API will become better with the next Java LTS as users become more
confident about deploying a JVM that supports the API.

Is there any update on QUIC transport protocol over HTTP/3 support in Tomcat 11?
Does it have anything to do with JEP draft 8291976?
https://openjdk.org/jeps/8291976
What are the plans for the next major release of Tomcat?
The QUIC plans have been on and off.
A bit off topic, but this is my favorite thing from the
recently-released Java 24: https://openjdk.org/jeps/491
JEP 491: Synchronize Virtual Threads without Pinning
This JEP makes using Virtual Threads practical for most web
applications. Support for Virtual Threads was added in previous Tomcat
versions (that is, earlier than Tomcat 12), but the nature of VTs in the
JVM has kind of made them a bit of a flop since there is so much
synchronized code out there in the world.
Having Java 24 remove pinning of those threads means that every JDBC
driver is no longer a boat-anchor on every web application that uses
those drivers, and the promise of "simpler code that performs well" that
Virtual Threads was meant to deliver is actually, well, deliverable.
