April 2026 (2026-04) performance and product highlights for jmix-framework/jmix. Delivered two targeted improvements that enhance data retrieval efficiency and resource usage. Key feature: JPQL Constructor Expressions for DTO instantiation, enabling JPQL 'new' to instantiate DTOs directly in queries by selecting fields and mapping to DTOs, reducing post-query mapping overhead. This change was introduced via cherry-picked commits, notably 2621c0554bc8641edc008e47e710ca2c86f3d6e4 (backported from 9d7c00b10316c19c943e53186e6c1e5fbf136057). Second feature: Guideline for Efficient Handling of Generated JPA Lexer/Parser Files, advising against reading JPA2Lexer.java and JPA2Parser.java to preserve context space and tokens, improving resource usage. This guideline was implemented through commit daf99bf4c768fe103d550d7e19625fc59bdc094d (cherry-picked from 563d982ff751ddf99b0a3ed600786b266f03b394). No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature delivery and process improvements.
