  • Zing 25.08.1.0 includes the General Availability (GA) release of Azul Zing Builds of OpenJDK (Zing) with CRaC. Zing with CRaC is available for Java versions 17 and 21 for all Zing-supported systems.

    For more information about Zing with CRaC, check out our CRaC documentation page, and for information about how CRaC differs between Core and Prime, including CRaC features not supported in Prime, check out our page comparing CRaC in Zing and Zulu.

    You can find Zing with CRaC packages on our Customer Downloads page.

  • Zing 25.08.1.0 includes a number of CNC bugfixes and improvements.

    • The traceability of CNC client has been improved by introducing the concomp+grpc unified log tag to trace the transport layer. If you are using the option -Xlog:concomp, switch to -Xlog:concomp* (with the wildcard at the end) to guarantee backwards compatibility.
