What’s New In The June 2026 Azul Payara Release?
The June 2026 Azul Payara release cycle delivers updates across all supported branches (7, 6, 5, and 4). A critical CSRF and SSRF security fix in the Admin Console and REST management interface is backported to every supported version. Azul Payara 7.1.0 is the first monthly release post-GA on the Jakarta EE 11 line, shipping MicroProfile 6.1 and promoting several components (EclipseLink 5.0.0, Jersey 4.0.2, Payara Security Connectors 4.0.0) from beta/alpha to GA. Jakarta Data gains method-level @Transactional overrides and a performance fix. Payara 5.88.0 and 6.39.0 include a notable behaviour change: the server 'ready' signal now fires after post-boot configuration and application loading by default, aligning with Payara 7 behaviour. Teams relying on post-boot scripts or transaction recovery timing should review this change before upgrading.
