Weld 7.0.0.CR1

By Matej Novotny | July 31, 2026

Weld Core 7.0.0.CR1 and Weld API 7.0.CR1 are now available in Maven Central.
This is the first candidate release for Weld 7, implementing CDI 5.0 CR1.

CDI 5.0 CR1 is considered feature complete — no further specification changes are expected before the Final release and the start of the release ballot. This means Weld 7.0.0.CR1 contains everything that CDI 5.0 has to offer and passes the full CDI TCK.

Here is a summary of notable changes since Beta2:

  • Updated to CDI 5.0 CR1 API and TCK

  • Fix overly strict validation of wildcard Event and Instance injection (#3362)

  • Adapt to CDI race condition fix in CDI#providerState (weld/core#3462)

  • Add CDI API signature test module (#3366)

  • Fix Javadoc link formatting in ContextNotActiveException (weld/core#3416)

  • Documentation updates (weld/core#3427, weld/core#3434)

  • Various dependency updates

The full list of changes can be found in the release notes.

As always, please report any issues you discover so we can fix them before Final.
