The November 2022 Payara Platform release is here and ALL versions are getting a new release!
Payara Platform Community 6.2022.1 is the first stable release of the Payara 6 Community stream. This is certified against the Jakarta EE 10 Platform, Web Profile, and Core Profile. Payara 6 will now be the updated, current version of Payara Platform Community.
Payara Platform Enterprise 5.45.0 is also out, containing 5 bug fixes, 1 security fix and 2 improvements.
Payara Platform Community 5.2022.4 has been released today as the penultimate Payara 5 Community release, and there is also a release of Payara Platform 4 for Enterprise customers.

Read more details below!
You can request Payara Platform Enterprise 5.45.0 here.
You can download Community 6.2022.1 and 5.2022.4 here.
6.2022.1 marks the official transition of Payara Community development to Payara 6 Community, which will run on Jakarta EE 10 only. Following the release of Payara 6 Community Alpha 4, Payara 6 Community now has full TCK-compatibility and full functionality with Jakarta EE 10 Platform, Web Profile, and Core Profile. There is also now full documentation available.
There will be one more Payara 5 Community release in December, but after this it will no longer be maintained; there will be no more bug fixes, component upgrades or improvements.
There is no guarantee that Jakarta EE 8 applications will work on Payara 6 Community. If you want to keep using Payara 5 and Jakarta EE / Java EE 8 applications, we encourage you to move to Payara 5 Enterprise.
Payara 6 Community is also compiled with JDK 11 and requires as a minimum JDK 11. It also includes MicroProfile 5.0 and can run with JDK 17.
If you choose to move to Payara 6 Community and Jakarta EE 10, you will gain access to new Java SE features now supported in Jakarta EE, and a simplified, modernised new iteration of enterprise Java.
You can also watch a video where we explain more about the Payara 6 release here.
All of the releases out today include a key fix. Please download these latest versions – 6.2022.1, 4.1.2.191.38, 5.2022.4, 5.45.0 – to ensure you are safe.
This vulnerability exploit opens up to attackers a way to explore the contents of the WEB-INF and META-INF folders if an application is deployed to the root context.

We would like to thank Michael Baer, Luc Créti and Jean-Michel Lenotte, all working for Atos, for alerting us to this vulnerability.
Our next webinar will see Payara Senior Software Engineer Andrew Pielage talk through what you can enjoy with Jakarta EE 10 and also discuss issues to watch out for as you migrate to Payara 6 Community.Join him on November 4, 2pm GMT.
