+title=Apache Sling 13 released		
+type=page
+status=published
+tags=launchpad
+~~~~~~
+
+The Sling 13 release contains numerous improvements, such as official Java 21 support, TODO, and various performance improvements and updates.
+
+Read on to see more details about the individual improvements. To find out more about running Sling, see our [getting started page](/documentation/getting-started.html).
+
+## Official support for Java 21
+
+The Sling Starter and included modules are validated to work on Java 11, 17 and 21. Note that for Java 17+ the `org.apache.sling.commons.threads` will not clean up leftover `ThreadLocal` instances unless the  `--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED` is passed to the JVM.
+
+This fix is already applied to the [official Sling Starter Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/sling) and we anticipate further fixes in this area.
+
+Modules started to switch to Java 11 as minimum version, so Java 8 is no longer supported for the Sling Starter.
+
+
+## Update to Oak 1.72.0
+
+[Apache Jackrabbit Oak](https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/) 1.72.0 brings numerous performance improvements and new features that are now available in the Sling Starter.
+
