8.0.0-M12
Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile Final and the Jakarta EE 11 Platform Final specification (last page pending to be updated).
Jakarta EE 11 Platform is the final release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 is complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs.
GlassFish 8 M12 incorporates all final APIs from the Jakarta EE 11 release plan. Note that Jakarta Data is supported via an external build-time plug-in at the moment. Work is underway to support Jakarta Data natively in GlassFish.
8.0.0-M12 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch, and roughly corresponds to 7.0.25.
The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile and Jakarta EE 11 Platform M5 APIs included. All of the updated APIs are final.

| jakarta.faces-api.version 4.1.2 | Mojarra 4.1.3 | jakarta-faces-tck-glassfish |
JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.
GlassFish 8 M12 fully passes the final Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile TCK and the proposed final Jakarta EE 11 Platform TCK.
Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.

7.0.24
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also officially works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.24 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 24. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
This release marks an important step forward by introducing support for JDK 24 in GlassFish 7—a capability that had previously only been available in milestone builds of GlassFish 8. Achieving this required new versions of CORBA, ORB, and PFL, the result of many months of dedicated work by the team.
The team also undertook a significant revision of how scripts are used across the project. All Linux scripts now consistently use Bash, and a unified method has been adopted for resolving the AS_INSTALL path across all platforms. Additionally, an issue on Windows related to the %t placeholder—used in JDK log formatting—was resolved by ensuring it is properly escaped.
Faster Deployment was achieved by improved file handling; the team replaced custom file discovery with Files.walkFileTree and switched from URI to Path, also adopting try-with-resources for better resource management. On Windows 11, deployment time for specifically selected huge applications dropped from 110s to 100s, with potential for 92s using caching. YourKit profiling showed a 19s improvement in FileSystem.hasBooleanAttributes.

7.0.22
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.22 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
A smaller release while the OmniFish team is working on perfecting SSH in a separate feature branch. Stil, a few important dependencies have been updated; notably Concurrō (Concurrency), EclipseLink (Persistence) and Jersey (REST). Furthermore, GlassFish has received a few security improvements: the admin flow login was improved by @avpinchuk, and the OmniFish team improved the command logger, which now hides passwords in logged messages.

7.0.21
Eclipse GlassFish is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 10 specification, which is a major new feature release. Jakarta EE 10 requires JDK 11 as a minimum, but also works on JDK 17 and JDK 21.
GlassFish 7.0.21 is a final release, containing final Jakarta EE 10 APIs. It compiles and runs on JDK 11 to JDK 23. MicroProfile support requires JDK 17 or higher.
Release overview
This release was all about hunting down a few nasty bugs reported by GlassFish users: restart hanging on fast machines (including ephemeral ports appearing when stopping GlassFish), random 403 responses for authenticated sessions and Faces that was failing to initialize on GlassFish embedded. We're proud to announce that after a lot of research and a lot of work, we were able to squash them all. A special thanks to our users for reporting these and helping us to narrow them down!

8.0.0-M9
Eclipse GlassFish 8 is an application server, implementing Jakarta EE. This release is corresponding with the Jakarta EE 11 M4 specification under development.
Jakarta EE 11 M4 is the fourth milestone release of Jakarta EE 11. Jakarta EE 11 M4 is functionally complete; all updated APIs for Jakarta EE 11 have been included and all compatible implementations thereof passed their respective TCKs. The next Jakarta EE 11 milestone (likely RC1) will focus only on small fixes and small service releases.
GlassFish 8 M9 incorporates all final APIs from the Jakarta EE 11 release plan, except for the Jakarta Data API. Jakarta Data is supported via an external build-time plug-in at the moment. Work is underway to support Jakarta Data natively in GlassFish.
Specifically new in GlassFish 8 M9 is support for @Inject of Jakarta Persistence artefacts like the EntityManager. Unlike other APIs in Jakarta EE, Jakarta Persistence delegated this to the platform specification.
8.0.0-M9 also incorporates all changes from the 7.0.x branch, and roughly corresponds to 7.0.20.
The following is the full list of Jakarta EE 11 M4 APIs included. All of the updated APIs are final.
| API | Implementation | TCK |
|---|---|---|
| jakarta.el-api.version 6.0.0 | Expressly 6.0.0-M2 | jakarta-expression-language-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.annotation-api.version 3.0.0 | ||
| jakarta.cdi-api.version 4.1.0 | Weld 6.0.0.Beta4 | jakarta-cdi-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.interceptor-api.version 2.2.0 | Weld 6.0.0.Beta4 | jakarta-cdi-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.rest-api.version 4.0.0 | Jersey 4.0.0-M1 | jakarta-rest-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.servlet-api.version 6.1.0 | (internal in GlassFish 8.0.0-M7) | jakarta-servlet-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.pages-api.version 4.0.0 | WaSP 4.0.0-M2 | jakarta-pages-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.websocket-api.version 2.2.0 | Tyrus 2.2.0 | jakarta-websocket-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.authorization-api.version 3.0.0 | Exousia 3.0.0-M3 | jakarta-authorization-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.authentication-api.version 3.1.0 | Epicyro 3.1.0 | jakarta-authentication-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.persistence-api.version 3.2.0 | EclipseLink 5.0.0-B03 | TCK for EE server not yet available* |
| jakarta.validation-api.version 3.1.0 | Hibernate Validator 8.0.1.Final | jakarta-validation-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.security-api.version 4.0.0 | Soteria 4.0.0 | jakarta-security-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.concurrent-api.version 3.1.0 | Concurro 3.1.0-M4 | jakarta-concurrency-tck-glassfish |
| jakarta.faces-api.version 4.1.1 | Mojarra 4.1.2 | jakarta-faces-tck-glassfish |
* EclipseLink outside GF passes
JDK 17 is available for the special JDK 17 build, but this build is only intended for TCK purposes.
For the regular version of GlassFish 8, JDK 21 is required as a minimum and the final version of GlassFish 8 is targeted to certify on JDK 21 for Jakarta EE 11.
In this release GlassFish itself compiles, builds and passes the internal tests executed during a build. The PR verification tests all pass as well.
Being an early access milestone build, this build should obviously only be used for testing.

Release overview
While working on GlassFish 7.1.0 and GlassFish 8, we didn't leave the stable 7.0.x series in the dark. In this release we updated a lot of our dependencies to their latest versions and did a large amount of testing to ensure everything worked as required. We also improved stability again by squashing a number of outstanding bugs.
