JEP 540 proposes to incubate a simple JSON API and is currently proposed to target JDK 28. The pull request for Project Valhalla's JEPs 401 and 539 were merged and value types are available as a preview feature in the latest JDK 28 early-access builds. Oracle plans to backport post-quantum cryptography to Oracle JDKs with LTS (25, 21, 17, 11, and 8) and move Java to monthly security updated (currently quarterly).
