Dec 1, 2025

December 2025 focused on enhancing stability, security, and performance for quarkusio/quarkus. Primary work included dependency upgrades to address vulnerabilities and improve compatibility (Mutiny 3.1.0, Mutiny Vert.x bindings 3.21.1, Vert.x 4.5.23, Netty 4.1.130.Final) and updates to Mutiny client compatibility (to 3.21.3). Introduced a Vert.x-aware timer wrapper and a new ScheduledExecutorService for more natural threading and faster timer integration with Mutiny, including a sequencing fix to ensure Vert.x build items run after Mutiny. Performed an Arc class performance refactor by removing an AtomicReference to simplify synchronization and boost throughput. These changes collectively improve security posture, runtime stability, and developer productivity through clearer threading models and easier maintenance.
