## AI overview

Trino plans to require Java 23 for builds and runtime after validating binaries, updating its container image, releasing for community testing, and resolving feedback.

## Source excerpt

Only about ten Trino releases or six months ago, we released Trino 447 with the requirement to use Java 22. In recent releases we started to take more and more advantage of features that are only available with that upgrade. We made some big steps in terms of performance and talked talked about some of those performance enhancements around aircompressor in the recent Trino Community Broadcast 65. The Java community runs its release processes on a very predictable schedule - March and September mean new Java releases. This time it's Java 23, and Trino will not be left behind. We are upgrading to use and require Java 23 soon!.
