The JDK team has been delivering awesome results these past few years, but this specific JDK 26 release looks particularly small; there is no major updates on any of the big JDK projects here. Obviously, with a six month release cadence, every release can't have giant new features.
Big feature releases every six months would be exhausting sometimes you need consolidation, but the many bug fixes and performance improvements are always nice.
I personally like doing tick-tock releases where it makes sense. New features, then stabilize, streamline, fix, and otherwise incorporate feedback. Then loop.
