New things (and deprecated things), quoting from above:
"The feature list for the new version has only evolved modestly since InfoQ reported on this earlier in the year, and the major new features in Java 11 are:
Nest-based access controls (aka "Nestmates"): revisits the implementation of inner classes and eliminates the need for compilers to insert bridge methods.
Dynamic class-file constants (aka "condy"): reduces the cost and disruption of creating new forms of materializable class-file constants and opens the door to new performance and platform approaches.
ZGC (Experimental): a brand-new garbage collector designed for sub-10ms pause times (even on large heaps) with an aim of no more than a 15% performance penalty.
Flight Recorder: low overhead data collection framework for troubleshooting Java applications and the HotSpot JVM, previously a commercial feature, now open-sourced.
New standard HTTP library: A new module java.net.http that standardizes the incubating API and allows flow-based HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 support
TLS 1.3: Implement the recently standardized new version of Transport Layer Security
Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters: Updating the lambda syntax to use the var type-inferencing introduced in Java 10.
The new release also removes some older features to try to streamline the core Java product:
Java EE and CORBA Modules: Require applications to explicitly depend upon EE and CORBA modules if they require them.
Web Start: This feature has been removed with no clear replacement.
Applets: These have been heavily deprecated for some time and are finally removed.
JavaFX: The FX libraries have moved to the OpenJFX project and are removed from the core.
In particular, the EE modules contain the support for JAXB and SOAP - both components that are still in relatively widespread use in many enterprises. Development teams that upgrade to the new version should check carefully whether they will need to modify their build scripts to take these changes into account."
