Migration Guide
To migrate from 2.4, please refer to our migration guide.
What’s new?
Hibernate ORM
Quarkus 2.5 adds support for JPA entity listeners, including in native mode.
Until now, they were not really supported and were working in JVM mode only.
Adding headers with quarkus.http.header
With quarkus.http.header, you can easily add headers to your HTTP responses:
quarkus.http.header."My-Header".value=Header valueSee the HTTP reference documentation for more information.
Segurança
Some well known providers such as GitHub or LinkedIn are not OpenId Connect but OAuth2 providers which support the authorization code flow, for example, GitHub OAuth2 and LinkedIn OAuth2.
Quarkus 2.5 supports these providers as explained in the Using OpenID Connect (OIDC) to Protect Web Applications using Authorization Code Flow guide.
Using RESTEasy Reactive, it is now possible to filter the JSON output based on the role of the user using the @SecureField annotation:
public class Person {
private String firstName;
@SecureField(rolesAllowed = "admin")
private String lastName;
}In the example above, the lastName field will be included in the JSON output only if the user has the admin role.
Flyway
Flyway was updated to 8.0.
It is now possible to generate initial migration scripts from the Hibernate ORM generated schema from the Dev UI.
Reactive Microsoft SQL Server client
The Reactive Microsoft SQL Server client now supports encryption.
Infinispan
The Infinispan client extension has been upgraded to 13.0.0.Final.
The development/test infrastructure for Infinispan got major improvements in the form of a test resource and a dev service: you can automatically start Infinispan in dev mode and in your tests.
Oracle
A Dev Service for Oracle has been added: start your Oracle database automatically in dev and test mode.
Camel 3.13.0
Camel Quarkus extensions have been upgraded to Camel 3.13.0 version, that brings a list of improvements and fixes. Check the Camel 3.13.0 release notes.
Kubernetes extensions
It is now possible to define service bindings using Quarkus configuration as explained in the Deploying to Kubernetes guide.
Quarkus Maven plugin - Go offline
The default Maven feature to go offline doesn’t download the full set of Quarkus artifacts as some artifacts (the deployment/build ones) are resolved by the Quarkus Maven plugin and are not part of the regular dependencies.
Quarkus 2.5 introduces the quarkus:go-offline goal to cover this requirement.
Note that the same feature will come to the Gradle plugin very soon.
