Processing 4 makes important updates to the code to prepare the platform for its future. Most significantly, this includes the move to JDK 11 and support for new Java language features. The changes should be transparent to most users, but because of the massive shift behind the scenes, this will be 4.0.
## Roadmap
We don't have a schedule for a final release. This work is being done by a [tiny number of volunteers](https://github.com/processing/processing4/graphs/contributors?from=2019-10-01&to=2021-01-01&type=c) working in their personal free time.
* We're currently using JDK 11, which is a “Long Term Support” (LTS) release. Java 17 is the next LTS, and we'll switch to that when it arrives in September 2021.
