Gravity Forms vs WildFly: at a glance
What is Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms 3.2.2 is another unexplained patch on the Repeater release line.
Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layouts on October 20. Since then the team has shipped only point releases: add-on updates for HubSpot, Cloudflare Turnstile and Pipe, reCAPTCHA and Partial Entries, and now core 3.2.2, none of which name a specific change.
What is WildFly?
WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.
WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.
Gravity Forms vs WildFly: editorial side-by-side
Gravity Forms
5.0DEVOPS
Gravity Forms 3.2.2 is another unexplained patch on the Repeater release line.
◆ Current state
Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layouts on October 20. Since then the team has shipped only point releases: add-on updates for HubSpot, Cloudflare Turnstile and Pipe, reCAPTCHA and Partial Entries, and now core 3.2.2, none of which name a specific change.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.2 line is in stabilisation, with two core patches in a week following the Repeater field. Add-ons move on their own cadence, mostly upkeep.
◆ Prediction
More 3.2.x patches are likely; the entries give no sign of the next feature release.
WildFly
5.0DEVOPS
WildFly 42 brings virtual threads to Jakarta Concurrency.
◆ Current state
WildFly is a Jakarta EE application server on a regular train of Beta, Final and patch releases. WildFly 42.0.0.Final (October 22) supports virtual threads in the Jakarta Concurrency 3.1 implementation, promotes idle time-based eviction for distributable sessions, SFSBs and timers to default stability, and adds automatic meter management for resources added at runtime. 41.0.1 in August was a security patch closing three IIOP CVEs.
◆ Where it's heading
WildFly moves features through stability levels release by release; 42 promotes the eviction configuration that first arrived in 39. The bug list also shows continuing cleanup of XML parsing issues (CWE-611) and clustering edge cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect 42.0.1.Final next, consolidating fixes and component upgrades as 41.0.1 did.
