Java SE 27 и OpenJDK 27

После шести месяцев разработки компания Oracle опубликовала платформу Java SE 27 (Java Platform, Standard Edition 27), в качестве эталонной реализации которой используется открытый проект OpenJDK. За исключением удаления некоторых устаревших возможностей в Java SE 27 сохранена обратная совместимость с прошлыми выпусками платформы Java — большинство ранее написанных Java-проектов без изменений будут работоспособны при запуске под управлением новой версии. Готовые для установки сборки Java SE 27 (JDK, JRE и Server JRE) подготовлены для Linux (x86_64, AArch64), Windows (x86_64) и macOS (x86_64, AArch64). Разработанная в рамках проекта OpenJDK эталонная реализация Java SE 27 полностью открыта под лицензией GPLv2 с исключениями GNU ClassPath, разрешающими динамическое связывание с коммерческими продуктами.
Java SE 27 отнесён к категории выпусков с обычным сроком поддержки, обновления для которого будут выпускаться до следующего релиза. В качестве ветки с длительным сроком поддержки (LTS) следует использовать Java SE 25, Java SE 21 или Java SE 17, обновления для которых будут выпускаться до 2033, 2031 и 2029 годов соответственно (общедоступные — до сентября 2030, 2028 и 2026 годов). Расширенная поддержка LTS-ветки Java SE 8 продлится до 2030 года, а Java SE 11 — до 2032 года.

Ubuntu 26.10 stops the OOM killer from taking down your whole desktop

Ubuntu 26.10 changes how the system decides which processes get killed when memory runs low, so a rogue browser tab is less likely to punt you back to the login screen. Right now, when your system runs out of memory, the kernel’s out-of-memory (OOM) killer starts nuking processes to free some up. The issue is that doesn’t always kill the right ones. And that’s because, by default, many apps and critical desktop services share the same priority score. Firefox and GNOME Shell, for example, both have the same priority status. If memory pressure spikes, the OOM killer may decide to […]

Steam snap app using Core 26 available for testing

Ubuntu gamers can help test a new version of Canonical’s Steam snap that uses a core26 base and updated Mesa graphics drivers. By switching a new testing channel, the Steam snap’s underlying base runtime gets bumped to a version based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and pulls in a matching gaming-graphics-core26 content snap with newer GPU drivers – and potentially, better performance. To help test, opt in by running snap refresh steam --channel stable/core26 from your terminal. Canonical say to treat the new packages as a beta test, i.e., expect behavioural quirks and bugs. Issues should also be reported on the Canonical Steam […]

‍Ubuntu 26.10 полностью переводит Coreutils на Rust и лицензию MIT после аудита и исправления десятков проблем

В разрабатываемой Ubuntu 26.10 «Stonking Stingray» завершён переход базовых утилит с GNU Coreutils на написанную на Rust и распространяемую по лицензии MIT реализацию uutils/coreutils. В актуальных release notes Ubuntu 26.10 изменение обозначено как «100% Rust coreutils»: последние остававшиеся GNU-версии cp, mv и rm заменены реализациями uutils. Финальный этап прошёл 17 августа 2026 года, когда в репозиторий Ubuntu вернули Rust-реализацию cp, о чём сообщается в журнале пакетов Ubuntu.
Инициатива началась 12 марта 2025 года, когда Canonical представила план «Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu». Главной причиной называлась не производительность, а повышение безопасности базовых компонентов: Rust позволяет на этапе компиляции исключать целые классы ошибок управления памятью, характерных для C и C++. При этом Canonical подчёркивала зрелость существующих реализаций — GNU Coreutils не объявлялись устаревшими или небезопасными, речь шла о долгосрочной модернизации системы.

Z.ai open-sources ZCode after Git history uploads, plans zero-retention mode

Z.ai has released ZCode under the Apache-2.0 license after the coding agent was found packaging workspaces and uploading encrypted archives containing Git histories. The source release makes the client inspectable, but it does not prove what happened to data already sent to Z.ai’s cloud infrastructure; the company is also preparing a zero-data-retention option for its Model-as-a-Service platform.

GNOME resolves the ‘inappropriate’ screenshot sound

Say goodbye to the public thinking you’re a creep next time you take a desktop screenshot on Ubuntu – GNOME 51 has changed the sound effect that plays when you do. For a while now, when you screen grab your desktop or an app window, the accompanying sound effect is a familiar camera shutter, like the one when you take a photo on a smartphone. Cute in the privacy of your own home, but less cute in a public setting like a café. Why? Because it can sound rather creepy, as one bug report from 2024 laid bare: a UI/UX […]

Entra ID passkeys become default in 2026 as SMS and voice authentication near retirement

Entra ID administrators have two deadlines to prepare for: passkeys will become the default sign-in method beginning September 1, 2026, and Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication will retire on February 1, 2027. Organizations should identify affected users now and move them to phishing-resistant authentication before phone-based sign-ins stop working.
