Welcome to issue number two hundred and four of Hashtag Jakarta EE!
Last week I spoke at Javaforum Malmö and JCON WORLD ONLINE 2023. It was amazing to see so many people showing up at Javaforum Malmö (the Malmö Java User Group) as it was our first event in two years. Hopefully, it won’t be two years until the next one…
We are fast approaching the Milestone 1 release of Jakarta EE 11. So far, the following specifications have released a Milestone 1 (M1) to Maven Central:
– Jakarta Annotations 3.0.0-M1
– Jakarta Data 1.0.0-M1
– Jakarta Expression Language 6.0.0-M1
– Jakarta Pages 4.0.0-M1
– Jakarta Persistence 3.2.0-M1

The rest of the specifications are expected to release a milestone by Tuesday, November 28 so we have time to assemble milestone releases of the Jakarta EE 11 Platform, Jakarta EE 11 Web Profile, and Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile in time for JakartaOne Livestream on December 5.
