Weld 5.1.6.Final

2025-5-20   release   Matej Novotny

Weld 5.1.6.Final is now headed towards Maven Central with a tiny fix for potential memory leak.

There was a very specific scenario possibly leading to a memory leak due to caching mismatch.
Note that this only occured if the following conditions were met:

  • Having a producer using InterceptionFactory

  • Repeatedly creating those bean (most likely @Dependent beans)

  • The underlying AnnotatedType backing this bean had to have an annotation with a non-empty array type value

Because this requires a very narrow set of conditions, it is reasonable to believe that most deployments are unaffected.
That said, if you can upgrade, we definitely encourage you to!
