Java 17 is GA. No change since early RC1 in early August.
New LTS cadence? Moving the JDK to a Two Year LTS Cadence
This is still proposed by Oracle, not definitely happening.
LTS old scheme: 17 (2021), 23 (2024), 29 (2027)
LTS new scheme: 17 (2021), 21 (2023), 25 (2025), 29 (2027)
No change in length of LTS support (from Oracle, anyway)
New Oracle JDK license for 17: Introducing the Free Java License.
Includes redistribution if not for a fee.
See agenda topic.
Corretto 17 expected next week.

Still this JCOMOIDC-23 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Decoupled caching into a caching type implementation
Pushed lots of variable (between OIDC and SAML) functionality into strategies to allow OIDC things to be slightly different.
e.g. how to fetch metadata when not in cache is now in a strategy.
Is tricky, almost have a PoC of something. Might not even be good, will need a review later on.
