# Vaadin 8 extended maintenance version changelog
+## Vaadin 8.21.0
+
+* Framework 8 builds are now made on Java 11. The resulting
+ JARs are still fully compatible with Java 1.8 runtimes, but
+ only Java 11 SDKs are supported for building Framework 8
+ for the 8.21 series.
+
+ Build-time compatibility with Java 17 SDKs is being
+ investigated, but is not yet available.
+ If you wish to **run** Vaadin 8 on Java 9+ JREs, you *must*
+ set the Java environment value
+ `java.locale.providers=COMPAT`, otherwise locale
+ dependent conversions (country code, currency, etc) WILL be
+ inconsistent with Java 8 behavior, potentially leading to
+ data loss.
+
+ Minimum Maven version to build Vaadin 8 is now **3.6.2**.
+ Included new dependencies:
+
+ * `javassist` version 3.29.2-GA
+ * `maven-enforcer-plugin` 3.3.0
+
+ Updated supporting Maven plugins:
+
+ * `maven-clean-plugin` from 3.0.0 to 3.2.0
+ * `maven-compiler-plugin` from 3.5.1 to 3.11.0
+ * `maven-site-plugin` from 3.5 to 3.12.1
+ * `maven-jar-plugin` from 2.6 to 3.2.2
+ * `maven-surefire-plugin` from 2.19.1 to 2.22.2
+ * `maven-failsafe-plugin` from 2.19.1 to 2.22.2
+ * `maven-dependency-plugin` from 3.0.1 to 3.5.0
+ * `exec-maven-plugin` from 1.6.0 to 3.1.0
+ * `versions-maven-plugin` from 2.3 to 2.15.0
+ * `build-helper-maven`-plugin 1.10 to 1.12
+ * `maven-source-plugin` 3.0.1 to 3.2.1
+ * `maven-checkstyle-plugin` from 3.2.0 to 3.2.2
+
+* Upgraded GWT dependency to 2.9.0 in order to make Framework 8
+ more compatible with other Vaadin products and modern build
+ environments, as well as to improve compatibility with modern
+ browsers.
+
+* Fixed all JavaDoc generation errors and cleaned up some API
+ documentation along the way, resulting in better IDE
+ compatibility and cleaner formatting of the resulting
+ documentation.
+
+* Fixed a bug in the long polling push transport when the sync id
+ check is disabled, leading to the server continuously pushing.
+ This is a backported fix from Flow, see
+ [issue #17237](https://github.com/vaadin/flow/issues/17237)
+ [pull request #17238](https://github.com/vaadin/flow/pull/17238).
+
+* Added new API in `VaadinSession.java` which allows
+ setting priority of UIProviders. The function
+ `VaadinSession.addUIProvider` now takes an extra integer
+ parameter, which makes it possible to explicitly set priority
+ of the UI providers as they're added.
+
+ Additionally, the functions
+ `VaadinSession.getUIProviderPriority` and
+ `VaadinSession.setUIProviderPriority` were added, which
+ can be used together with `VaadinSession.getUIProviders`
+ to alter the ordering of all UI providers added to the Session.
+
+ It is also possible to specify the priority of the default UI
+ providers by setting the `UIPriority` value as part of
+ the `DeploymentConfiguration`.
+
+ This does not alter default behavior. The default `UIProvider`
+ priority is 0; higher values get processed first. Providers with
+ the same priority will be processed in the order they were added.
+
+ See the VaadinSession JavaDoc for more information.
+
+* Updated internal Jetty depdency from version `9.4.48.v20220622`
+ to version `9.4.51.v20230217` to avoid a false positive
+ security alert. The internal Jetty server is only used for
+ running tests at build time.
+
+* Updated plexus-archiver version in vaadin-maven-plugin to `4.8.0`
+ in order to fix a potential security vulnerability.
+
## Vaadin 8.20.3
* Fixed an issue where compile-time license checking would fail on CI servers with release-only license files.
