## Source excerpt

Codename One 5.0 AKA Social will launch on September 19th. We pushed this release back to include support for crucial features such as JDK 11/OpenJDK support. With these features in place and a slew of other features we are gearing towards 5.0 GA. Tomorrow (Friday) we will push out plugin version 4.5 for all IDE'. This new version is effectively release candidate 1 for the 5.0 version. Normally we don't bother with a release candidate this close to an actual release as the plugins don't change much. However, we made some extensive changes to the plugins recently and we'd like to make sure we didn't break too many things before the release.
