Quarkus 4.0.0.Beta1 moves to Java 21 as the baseline, upgrades to Netty 4.2 and Vert.x 5.x, and adds QUIC support along with opt-in HTTP/3 with automatic certificate generation in dev and test modes. It also integrates Jakarta REST 4, Hibernate ORM 8, Jackson 3, CDI 5.0, a new dedicated JMS extension, and an Observation API for metrics and traces via Micrometer or OpenTelemetry. _Extension maintainers tracking Quarkus 4 upgrade requirements can follow coverage like this on daily.dev._ ### When is Quarkus 4 planned for final release? The final release of Quarkus 4 is planned for the end of November, following the availability of the 4.0.0.Beta1 preview. Extension developers and end users are asked to test applications and migrate extensions during the beta period, with a migration guide available on GitHub to help with the transition. _Teams planning a Quarkus 4 migration can keep tabs on release timing through daily.dev._ ### How does Jackson 3 differ from Jackson 2 in a Quarkus 4 upgrade? Jackson 3, integrated in Quarkus 4, is described as a new major version where everything has changed except for the annotations, meaning existing annotation-based code should largely carry over while underlying APIs and internals differ. Developers upgrading extensions or applications should consult the Quarkus 4 migration guide for specifics on adapting to this change. _Developers weighing a Jackson 3 upgrade path can track migration details via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Quarkus Flow 1.0.0 released](https://daily.dev/posts/quarkus-flow-1-0-0-released-fcblhx0dd) · Quarkus · 10 upvotes · 0 comments - [Java Weekly, Issue 622](https://daily.dev/posts/java-weekly-issue-622-yhsvtmyww) · Baeldung · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Java News Roundup: Spring Cloud, Quarkus, Hibernate ORM, JobRunr, LangChain4j, Java Operator SDK](https://daily.dev/posts/java-news-roundup-spring-cloud-quarkus-hibernate-orm-jobrunr-langchain4j-java-operator-sdk-e8bdvgtz6) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Quarkus 3.31 - Full Java 25 support, Quarkus Maven packaging, Panache Next, and more\!](https://daily.dev/posts/quarkus-3-31---full-java-25-support-quarkus-maven-packaging-panache-next-and-more--aoz3v2ul4) · Quarkus · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#java](https://daily.dev/tags/java), [#quarkus](https://daily.dev/tags/quarkus), [#jakarta-ee](https://daily.dev/tags/jakarta-ee) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/quarkus-4-0-0-beta1-released-ua68tppyh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Quarkus 4.0.0.Beta1 released","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/quarkus-4-0-0-beta1-released-ua68tppyh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/quarkus-4-0-0-beta1-released-ua68tppyh"},"datePublished":"2026-10-01T12:24:45.939Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T12:25:05.833Z","description":"Quarkus 4.0.0.Beta1, the first beta of the next major Quarkus version, has been released with a final release targeted for the end of November.
