Migration Guide 1.7

Native executables

file.encoding set to UTF-8

Native executables use the file.encoding defined at build time. It used to be set to the locale of the build host. It is now hardcoded to UTF-8 at build time to avoid inconsistent behaviors.

It is not configurable right now but if you have a use case for being able to configure it, please speak up on the quarkus-dev mailing list.

GraalVM 19.3 not supported anymore

Starting with 1.7, we only support the JDK 11 flavor of GraalVM 20.1 for native executables building.

io.quarkus:quarkus-bom-deployment has been removed

io.quarkus:quarkus-bom-deployment artifact was deprecated in 1.6.0.Final and now was removed completely in 1.7.0.Final. Its content (the deployment or build time Quarkus extension dependencies) was merged into io.quarkus:quarkus-bom artifact. Starting from 1.7.0.Final release, imports of io.quarkus:quarkus-bom-deployment should be changed to import io.quarkus:quarkus-bom instead.

S2I image

The default S2I image is now a Java 11 image based on UBI: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/openjdk-11.

SmallRye Reactive messaging extension health checks are enabled by default

SmallRye Reactive messaging extensions (eg. io.quarkus:quarkus-smallrye-reactive-messaging-kafka) automatically registers a Health Check for their respective messaging server (when io.quarkus:quarkus-smallrye-health is present). To disable this behavior, simply add the following to your application.properties:

quarkus.reactive-messaging.health.enabled=false
