Oracle Labs has released GraalVM 21.1 featuring experimental binaries for Java 16. This new release also contains performance improvements along with new features such as support for multiple locales in a Native Image. Node.js, originally included in previous versions of the GraalVM installation package, is now an optional dependency requiring manual installation.
The GraalVM Community Edition binaries, based on OpenJDK, have been updated to Java 8u292, 11.0.11 and 16.0.1, and the GraalVM Enterprise Edition binaries, based on Oracle JDK, have been updated to Java 8u291, 11.0.11, 16.0.1. Both editions supporting Java 16 may be used for testing and evaluation, but are still under development.
