Weld 4.0.0.Final

An early Xmas present for CDI lovers is here - Final release for Weld 4 is now available! You can pick your Xmas jar-packaged present from Maven Central right away.

Since there were no new reported issues after integrating Weld 4.0.0.CR1 version into GlassFish and WildFly EE 9 preview, we have promoted Weld to Final release. Latest core version is now 4.0.0.Final and Weld API that ships with it is 4.0.Final.

Functionally, Weld 3 and 4 remain identical and both are getting the same treatment and doses of bugfixes. The main difference is that Weld 4 operates with EE 9, meaning it expects you to use it with CDI 3.0 along with the new jakarta package names.

Given that most changes poured into this version were more about dependecy updates, structural changes etc., I won’t list them all here. However, if you are still curious, you could take a peek at JIRA release page and browse various Weld 4 releases that we did over time.

What’s more important is that we are keen on hearing from you should you find any issues with this version. Whether you are an integrator or user, we realize no project is ever bug-free and we want to smack those bugs! So if you hit any problems that you think are bugs, let us know via one of the usual channels:

Last but not least, the Weld team wishes you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
