The latest version of Apache NetBeans, and the very first release of the new quarterly release cycle arrived. Apache announced the release of version 11.1 on July 22, 2019. It comes with a few improvements and some enhancements to Java EE.
Since v11 is the long term support version, Apache cautions that the 11.1 release has not been extensively tested. Thus, it may not be as stable. The next LTS release will release, schedule permitting, April 2020. Until then, let’s take a look at the update and see the latest changes to this framework.
