NetBeans release notes?

[Thad Humphries <th...@gmail.com>]

I see that NetBeans 16 is out. I only started using NetBeans a few weeks
ago. Are there release notes somewhere online so I can evaluate if I want
to upgrade at this time, and what obstacles and/or bugs I might expect?

It is always recommended to update NetBeans to the current version if 
possible which has (hopefully) the least amount of bugs. But we also try 
to make sure to hide new ones to keep things interesting :)

If there is a larger issue (or regression) known at time of release it 
is often mentioned on the download page which just got updated:

https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb16/index.html

e.g for NB 16 there is: "Gradle projects in Apache NetBeans 16 are not 
supported when running the IDE on JDK 19.
