The next version of VisionX will be 6.0. We plan to release it at the end of 2024.

Some big changes will be:

• Java update from 12 to 21 LTS
• JavaFX update from 12 to 23
• Embedded postgres update from 9 to 14
• Support for Silicon Macs and in general, architectures x86_64 (amd64) arm64 (aarch64)

VisionX 6 will include the latest version of our JVx application framework, version 3.0. The development of our application framework is on the home stretch. We have nightly builds in great state.

In VisionX 6 we'll also bundle our latest reactUI with bigger framework updates and our latest flutterUI which is compatible with flutter 3.24. The new UIs won't be backwards compatible because of some bugs and new features which are not available in applications created with VisionX < 6. If you're using reactUI, old apps will still work and if you're plan to use our new VisionX Previewer, simply update your application(s).

The OS integration of VisionX 6 will be improved as well, e.g better Dock integration under Ubuntu or improved menu handling under macOS. We did integration tests with CentOS (9) Stream, Fedora (36 to 40), Debian (12), Kali Linux, Ubuntu (20 to 24), macOS (Intel from 10.15, Silicon from 12.0), Windows (from 10).

We will release an Early Access version in the next few weeks.
